Possible is a climate action charity working on climate solutions which improve people’s lives, support communities and cut the cost of living, as well as slashing carbon. Our “Where We Live” workstrand creates innovative new ways to improve the roll-out of clean, affordable heat and energy, and to better insulate homes.
We are looking for someone with experience of delivering community energy and/or heat projects. Are you excited to unblock the delivery of innovative local clean energy and heat projects which cut emissions and energy poverty and empower communities? Do you enjoy working with communities to help design and deliver local energy projects which work for them? If so, we should talk!
As our new Community Heat and Energy Project Manager, you’ll play a key role in delivering our major new community heat and energy workstrand. You’ll work with expert partners to move forward local renewable energy projects which help power clean heat solutions at three different sites, as well as developing ways to remove barriers to delivering this type of project, such as supplying energy locally and matching supply and demand.
The role will include coordinating and working with key expert partners, including community energy groups and research partners, across the three sites. The design stage of the project is largely complete, but there is still scope for creativity in delivery.
Like all our staff, you will contribute to our anti-oppression work, attend team-wide meetings and training sessions and feed in to the production of organisational strategy. And everyone at Possible chips in in the best ways they are able, by doing things like organising digital birthday cards, taking out the bins or the virtual equivalent, so there’s that too.

At Possible, we create, build, and share ways people can take meaningful action on climate change. Combining personal and local actions into larger systemic change, we face climate dread with a can-do attitude and sense of fun. Whether we’re helping people fix their electronics, turning parking spaces into tree planting zones or lobbying MPs on clean heat, everything we do is about inspiring more people to take ambitious climate action. We have a set of values that guide our actions and our organisational culture, daring, joy and community.
Commitment to anti-oppression
At Possible, our vision is a zero carbon society, built by and for the people of the UK. To achieve this, it is essential that the whole spectrum of the British public is represented in our organisation.
We welcome applications from those who are from marginalised groups, in terms of their sexual orientation, race, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, or if you are returning parents, carers or any other aspect which makes them unique. We particularly welcome applications from people who are underrepresented in the climate movement too, including People of Colour, Disabled people, those from a working class or low/ no income background, people who are trans, non-binary or gender fluid. You can find out more about our anti-oppression work here.

About Us
GiveOut is an award-winning international LGBTQI community foundation. Our mission is to bring together the LGBTQI community and allies to support global LGBTQI rights activism worldwide, building a world where LGBTQI people everywhere can live freely and fully.
Across the world, courageous activists are doing vital work to protect our communities and improve the lives of LGBTQI people. But they lack resources and funding is fragile, especially in the Global South and East. LGBTQI groups receive a tiny fraction of international development aid – just 4p in every £100 awarded by governments.
Our community and allies want to provide support, but it is not always easy to do so. GiveOut’s purpose is to help address this urgent need by providing a platform for our supporters to give tax efficiently in one place to fund LGBTQI human rights activism worldwide. We identify pioneering groups to support through a rigorous process of consultation, due diligence and vetting, guided by our Grant-making Advisory Panel and governed by our Board of Trustees.
We pool the donations we receive to provide grants to LGBTQI organisations around the world, ensuring they have more of the resources they need to defend our communities, tackle inequality and campaign for lasting change.

Working closely with the Head of Philanthropy, you will support them on shaping and executing strategy and work planning, coordinating the donor database and leading on related internal processes, and deputising for the Head externally.
We are open to full time or part time (pro rata) at a minimum of 24 hours, or equivalent to 3 days per week. We are also open to flexible working arrangements to be discussed.
