Keep Britain Tidy is one of the UK’s leading environmental charities. At a time when we are
living in a world that is facing its greatest environmental challenges, the work we do has
never been more important or more urgent.

For 30 years, Keep Britain Tidy’s Education Team has delivered the Eco-Schools programme.
Eco-Schools gives nurseries and schools a simple, 7-Step framework to help them to increase
environmental learning and to make their sites more sustainable. The largest environmental
education programme in the UK, Eco-Schools empowers schools and young people to make huge
environmental impacts.

Environmental change is affecting us all and we want people from all backgrounds to be part of
the solution and help us make the changes that cannot wait. It is for this reason that Keep
Britain Tidy has flexible and supportive policies for all our staff, and welcomes applicants
from all backgrounds.

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic project manager, with basic carbon literacy and an
understanding of the schools system in the UK. The role will be responsible for the day-to-day
operational delivery and iteration of Count Your Carbon – a comprehensive, web-based carbon
footprint calculator, built in collaboration with, and for, schools. Funding has been secured
for a large update to the calculator, which will involve working with subject experts,
extensive project planning, supplier management and stakeholder-relationship management. The
role will also have line-management responsibility for administration staff.

The successful applicant will have experience of developing project outlines and proposals;
creating and maintaining project management documentation (such as operational plans, schedules
and risk logs); managing, using and reporting from large datasets; delivering evaluating
projects and implementing changes based on findings; reporting to varied stakeholders; and
supporting fundraising activity.

All our roles benefit from generous holiday entitlements and pension contributions, including
the opportunity to join the UK’s first net zero carbon pension scheme and to receive extra days
leave for using alternatives to flights. If you have any special requirements for interview
