Job description

UKGBC: who we are

The UK Green Building Council is the industry network on a mission to radically transform the built environment in response to the climate and nature crises. We champion bold government action and bring together the full value chain of the industry to drive progress at pace and scale.

This role offers an exceptional opportunity for a driven individual to be a part of addressing these urgent challenges. The places where we live, work, gather, and play can—and must—be part of the solution, not the problem.

We are a multi-disciplinary team of passionate and skilled people from across the UK with a London office hub. As a green charity, we prize our welcoming and inclusive work culture, with wellbeing and professional development at its heart.

The role:

The Membership Coordinator role is an important one within a small but strong and highly motivated membership team. You will also work closely with different members of the UKGBC team to support our membership retention and recruitment activities.

The ideal candidate will have a positive, can-do attitude and thrive in a busy working environment. All UKGBC team members are also actively supported in their own ongoing learning and personal development. The whole team is brought together on a regular basis to foster a connected, diverse, and highly engaged culture that benefits the individuals and the organisation.

We are an equal-opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any protected characteristic. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and valued. Our commitment to inclusivity means we support flexible work arrangements, ensuring work-life balance for all. We prioritise accessibility and will gladly accommodate any needs upon request, as we believe in providing a barrier-free recruitment process.

We recognise that people of colour, those from different socio-economic backgrounds, and those from minoritised groups are currently underrepresented at all levels within the industry.
