You can read about our three-year strategy and our 2024 impact report here.
What will I be doing?
This role will support the delivery of several activities within our portfolio of activities on climate change, the environment, and mental health. The four main areas of work that the Senior Officer will be responsible for include:

National level work (50% of post)
A key component of the current project will be to support national partners in a subset of countries globally (approximately 6 countries) to advocate for action on climate change and mental health. The final set of countries is yet to be defined but will likely include one country per WHO region and one country from the Small Islands Developing States. The specific responsibilities of this component will include:
-
Lead in the selection of national partners in each country. This will include supporting the running of a competitive process to select one civil-society organisation based in each country to conduct the work
-
Strengthen the capacity of national partners to work on climate change and mental health (e.g., via training to national partners to be delivered by the Senior Officer), if required

-
Support the attendance of PWLE to key global advocacy moments in a meaningful, safe, and impactful way
-
Support national partners on the integration of lived experience considerations in their work on climate change and mental health
Work on air pollution and mental health (15% of post)

-
Scope what concrete opportunities exist for integrating mental health considerations into air pollution policies at the global, regional, and national levels
-
Build connections with organisations working on air pollution and clean air policies
-
Refine our messaging on air pollution and mental health
-
Lead on the production of one advocacy brief on air pollution and mental health
Work on biodiversity loss and mental health (10% of post)

-
Scoping what concrete opportunities exist for integrating mental health considerations into biodiversity policies at the global, regional, and national levels
-
Build connections with organisations working on biodiversity, conservation, and nature
