Compost Culture is a five-year project taking place in Birmingham, supported by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund (NLCAF) and led by Incredible Surplus, that seeks to change the narrative on compost and support behaviour change, following a two- year initial project. This project will involve practical compost and growing initiatives alongside creative media and storytelling to show the relevance and importance of compost in how society moves forward. The project will build a resilient, self-sustaining network of composting and growing activity across Birmingham. It will inspire and support individuals, community groups, organisations and businesses to try composting and embed it as part of their daily activity and press the local authority and other agencies to support hyper-local composting as a valuable element of food waste management.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop a “Compost Village” approach across project sites by building strong relationships with households, community organisations, churches, local groups and schools.
  • Facilitate community knowledge-sharing around composting, soil health, waste reduction, and the role composting plays in climate action and local sustainability.
  • Support the development of local composting loops, encouraging communities to reuse organic materials effectively and reduce waste.
  • Deliver a strong schools-focused programme, including educating pupils and school staff on composting, biodiversity, and environmental responsibility.
  • Support the installation and ongoing use of Ridan composting systems within schools alongside other composting methods appropriate to each setting.
  • Work collaboratively across project delivery, supporting wider engagement activities and site-based practical work. 

Skills, Knowledge and Experience:

  • A genuine passion for nature, sustainability, composting, and environmental education.
  • Basic understanding of soil health, composting processes, growth cycles, and the organisms that support healthy ecosystems.
  • Interest in biodiversity, wildlife, and “mini beasts” that contribute to healthy soil systems.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to engage positively with schools, community groups, and volunteers.
  • Good level of physical fitness, with the ability to undertake practical outdoor work while following safe lifting and manual handling guidelines.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a small delivery team.

Desirable:



  • Experience working with schools, young people, or community engagement projects.
  • Experience in composting, horticulture, environmental projects, or outdoor education.
  • Knowledge of climate action, circular economy principles, or community sustainability initiatives.
