Net Zero Project Officer

Delivering across the whole of the North East & Yorkshire region, the Hub is part of a national network of local partnerships, funded and managed by government. We support local areas with the development and delivery of the energy projects which will meet the national Clean Energy 2030 ambition and the forthcoming Warm Homes plan. As part of the Stakeholder Engagement team, you will support the Hub to deliver its MOU with government, with a particular focus on delivering its knowledge transfer objectives. You will be responsible for developing and maintaining the Hub's communication channels to engage with its stakeholders and to build networks and partnerships. The successful candidate will work across the whole Hub and apply their skills to create materials and organise events that support learning and knowledge share within the region and beyond, including the reporting and distribution of insights from these activities. As part of a cohort of Project officers within the team, you will also provide additional project support across the Hub to support its effective administration and governance which may include but is not limited to taking notes for meetings and servicing communications into the Hub.

If you are as passionate about the net zero agenda as we are and can add your skills to our dedicated team we'd love to hear from you. Role Requirements The successful candidate will be adept at working independently and as part of a team to deliver shared goals and objectives. They will need to be a confident and clear communicator - both verbally and in writing - with the ability to interpret and synthesise information for a range of stakeholders. Ideally they will also have experience of and be comfortable working directly with and developing content for a range of communication tools and channels - for example, website management, social media and graphics. The role will require strong organisational and time management skills, along with the ability to deliver in-person and on-line events. Some independent travel around the region is expected, including organisational representation at third party events and there may be occasional travel to national events. The successful candidate should have some awareness of local government structures and some understanding of the clean energy/energy transition policy landscape would be an advantage.

About the Tees Valley Tees Valley is where five distinct boroughs come together to make one exceptional destination in which to invest, live, work and visit. The Tees Valley Combined Authority has made huge progress since its creation in 2016, taking on devolved responsibilities from Government for transport, infrastructure, skills, business investment, and developing local collaborations on culture, tourism and housing. These powers are backed up by substantial funding, a ten-year plan (approved in 2019) outlines how £588million worth of spending will support the creation of 16,785 jobs and an additional £1.48billion to the area's economic output. The investment plan, which supports the delivery of the Combined Authority's Strategic Economic Plan was first launched in 2017 and includes £20million for a major transformational project in each of the five local authority boroughs, and an indigenous Growth Fund of £50million to improve and revitalise towns and communities. We're proud of our historical impact across the globe - from celebrated explorers and introducing the first passenger railway to providing the steel that built the modern world. That legacy lives on today in the area's rail and engineering industries, our deep-sea port and advanced manufacturing heart. Tees Valley is also a dynamic business location for digital and creative technologies, and a leading destination for process industry and new energy companies. We love our diverse region, the five boroughs and their unique strengths that make Tees Valley greater than the sum of its parts, where the industrial skyline impressively frames rolling green landscapes and beautiful coastlines. A place of cultural and economic growth. North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub The North East and Yorkshire (NEY) Net Zero Hub is at the centre of the region's ambitious efforts to drive a low-carbon, clean-growth future.

Our Hub is a partnership of six Combined Authorities bringing together local authorities, businesses, organisations and communities to help achieve our Net Zero goals.
