Job description

Location: preference for London-based, possibility for elsewhere in the surrounding area, with 2 days per week attendance in our London office required 

Role: Permanent

Salary: £40,000 plus 10% employer-contributed pension; 4 day full-time work week (Monday – Thursday) 

About us 

Established in 2021, Opportunity Green is a fast-growing not-for-profit organisation that helps to identify and unlock opportunities to tackle climate change. We build ambitious coalitions, support climate vulnerable countries in international negotiations and find innovative legal pathways to fight climate change.

The Operations team is key to the success of Opportunity Green, enabling the team to carry out their work. It is headed by the COO and includes a Finance Manager, Operations Coordinator and People and Culture Manager, who will line manage this new role - a People and Culture Officer to support the continued growth of Opportunity Green.

What’s the role? 

The People and Culture Officer will support our People and Culture Manager with delivering the full HR portfolio for the organisation. You will coordinate recruitment of new colleagues, own the process and ensure OG hiring practices are followed, while working closely with other managers. You will coordinate our internal HR and recruitment systems and processes.

This role will also support the wider team (currently 25 people in the UK, two in Belgium and one in Ireland) with day-to-day queries and help them understand our policies and processes. There will be opportunities to contribute to organisation-wide projects such as pay and benefits reviews or learning & development initiatives under the direction of the People & Culture Manager.

We are looking for an empathetic team player who shares OG values and is committed to centring Equity, Diversity and Inclusion principles in their work. This is a fantastic role for someone who wants to combine their passions for people and climate and is happy to turn their hand to many different tasks. You will therefore need to be a great collaborator who is used to multitasking and responding to situations as they arise. 

About the candidate 

We are looking for a candidate with: 

  • Empathetic, people-first approach to HR, and ability to support a growing organisation. 

  • A passion for using their skills to tackle climate change and advance climate justice.

Skills and experience: 

  • CIPD or equivalent qualified, with knowledge of employment law and HR best practices through relevant work experience, ideally in the charity sector. 

  • People-centred approach to HR, with a practical, solutions-focused mindset. 

  • Ability to build and manage relationships with colleagues across the organisation and external contacts and suppliers.

  • Active listening skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders.

  • Ability to work proactively and independently and manage workload effectively. 

  • Demonstrates good judgement and takes responsibility for delivering outcomes within their area of work, escalating issues where appropriate. 

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 

  • Knowledge of HR and recruitment systems. 

  • Experience of coordinating recruitment and onboarding of staff. 

Diversity and inclusion 

Diversity and inclusion are important principles at Opportunity Green. We believe that diversity and inclusion make teams stronger and more effective. We are committed to fair and equitable employment practices, and we are striving to ensure that a variety of voices and experiences are included in our organisation. Our commitment to diversity and our parental leave policy are available to view on our website, here. 

We will consider all applicants who meet most or all of the essential competencies regardless of their identity or background. That said, we know that diverse candidates may be reluctant to apply for jobs where they don’t meet 100% of the criteria outlined in the job description. We encourage anyone to apply who can demonstrate the variety of skills and experiences relevant to meeting the requirements of this role.

We recognise that many diverse experiences and perspectives are not represented in our current workforce, and are seriously underrepresented across the non-profit sector in general, and as such, we particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities, non-white people, people from marginalised backgrounds, and members of the LGBTQIA+ communities. We will use positive action under the Equality Act 2010 to appoint from these groups if two candidates are equally qualified.

To learn more about our application process and receive advice on how to prepare in such a way as to showcase your full potential, please find our Application Guide here. 

What we offer 

The successful candidate will be offered an annual salary of £40,000 plus 10% employer-contributed pension. Please note that Opportunity Green has fixed salary scales, with the possibility of step increases with strong performance. When hiring we always hire at the bottom of a band and do not enter negotiations with new employees as negotiations have been historically shown to disadvantage women and minorities. 

We take our team’s well-being and professional development seriously. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer:

  • A commitment to work/life balance, with a 4-day work week at 28 hours. 

  • A generous holiday entitlement of 20 days’ holiday per year, plus bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year’s that does not count towards your holiday entitlement (and expectation that you fully disconnect when taking time off). 

  • A market-leading pension of 10%.

  • A progressive family leave policy, including 26 weeks’ paid leave for both parents, as well as other support. 

  • Lots of flexibility within a hybrid working arrangement, with regular opportunities to come together as a team. 

  • Support for your professional development as part of Opportunity Green, with a budget to support your learning & development plus opportunities to lead projects, publish content, learn from experts, work directly with policymakers and stakeholders, and take part in conferences and events. 

However, it is important to note that while this role is permanent, employment is always reliant on Opportunity Green continuing to receive philanthropic support from our funders, which we expect every member of the team to play their part in working towards. 

How to apply 

To minimise the risk of unconscious bias, we ask that applicants remove certain identifying elements from their CVs. If you do not remove these details, we reserve the right to withdraw your application from review.

  • Photos 

  • Name – if needed, please use ‘Applicant’ 

  • Age 

  • Email and/or phone number 

We also reserve the right to withdraw your application from review if you use AI tools such as Chat GPT to complete the sift questions / write your CV.

Unfortunately, if you do not already hold a permanent right to work in the UK, or require sponsorship to continue working in the UK, Opportunity Green will not be able to consider your application. 

The closing date for applications is 2 March 2026 at 9am GMT. 

We actively encourage applicants to reach out if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make to help them demonstrate their full potential in the hiring process. 

Please get in touch and we can discuss how to best make the recruitment process as accessible and comfortable for you as possible.

You can read our application guide on our website. 

What happens next? 

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an online interview to discuss their experience and suitability for the role. After this, candidates that are most suitable for the vacancy will be invited for an in-person interview in our London office, for which there may also be a short task. Travel will be reimbursed for non-London-based applicants (within the UK).

Online interviews are likely to take place w/c 16 March. In person interviews will take place in London later in March. 

We reserve the right to ask for references during the recruitment process. 

If you have any questions, or you need any reasonable adjustments at the application stage, please contact us.
