It also offers an early years catering service, and training and consultancy. It aspires to be a thought leader within the early years sector, in modelling sustainable, ethical practices, and is steadily increasing its social impact.

Role

The role holder will work in the Central Support Team and provide essential analytical, research, and operational support across all sustainability workstreams. Reporting to the Sustainability Lead, the role holder will work closely with them to help develop and accelerate our organisation’s sustainability progress by developing methods to enable regular sustainability reporting, providing evidence-based insights, and proactively supporting continuous improvement in sustainability initiatives.

  • Improve the organisation’s scope of social impact data and its collection, to support annual reporting.
  • Provide cross departmental assistance with data insights and data collection across the Central Support Team.

Research, Benchmarking & Evidence Gathering

  • Conduct cost-benefit analyses to evaluate sustainable practices.
  • Research suppliers, materials, technologies, and best practices to inform decision‑making.
  • Prepare concise insights packs that help the Sustainability Lead make informed decisions.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Identify emerging sustainability opportunities and approaches.
  • Support pilot projects and help evaluate their outcomes.
  • Contribute ideas that strengthen our long‑term sustainability strategy and operational performance.

Expectations

Essential:

  • A passionate and driven approach toward driving sustainability within the organisation
  • Ability to interpret data and communicate insights clearly in written and visual formats
  • Advanced IT literacy
  • Curiosity and initiative to learn new tools and systems
  • Highly organised with good time-management skills and ability to work to multiple deadlines
  • Strong attention to detail

Desirable

  • Degree in Sustainability, Environmental Science, Sustainable Development, Environmental Management, or a related discipline
  • Proven work experience within a similar role
  • Understanding of core sustainability concepts such as climate change mitigation, carbon footprint, resource efficiency, circular economy, ESG principles and Sustainable Development Goals
  • Awareness of current sustainability trends, technologies, and best practices
