As Climate Adaptation Assistant, you will be helping to deliver SWT’s climate adaptation work across various projects. The over-arching aim of this work is to develop climate change adaptation pathways at a county level, and in specific local areas relating to flooding, drought and wildfire.

Come and join the team to make a real difference.

Climate Change Assistant

The Climate Change Adaptation Assistant's role is to support the delivery and embedding of SWT’s climate adaptation work in Somerset, building on the Co-Adapt Adapting the Levels project. This work helps to protect our fabulous wildlife and landscapes as well as local communities, using nature-based and natural process solutions to manage water, heat and wildfire that will help map a positive future for Somerset in the era of Climate Change.

Key outputs for the project will be: 

• Co-creating Climate Adaptation Plans with communities across Somerset including the coast
• Inputting a climate focus and RAD (Resist, Accept, Direct) approach with project focus areas (such as the Adapting the Levels Landscape Recovery project in the Brue Valley)
• Climate adaptation support for Agriculture on the Somerset Levels and Moors – supporting the Moor Association project.
• The management of priority habitats, identifying triggers for ecological transformation and mapping options

Community engagement and consensus-based solutions approaches are major elements of the role. The role will also include a large degree of partnership working and liaison with technical experts in the Climate Change Adaptation Pathways and RAD approaches.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
