This role will have a thematic focus on public engagement in decision-making on climate change and nature. Involve has a commitment to use our skills, time and experience to address big challenges. Climate change is one of those big challenges and is a policy area where citizen engagement on both principles and practice is vital. It, and Net Zero in particular, risk becoming a polarised and politicised issue where there is little room for considered, inclusive decision making. We want Involve’s approach to offer a way through difficult issues like low emission zones and other challenges in a way that centres social justice and equity.
We have a significant track record in public deliberation on climate change. We ran the first Climate Assembly in the UK and have since delivered a number of projects in this area including the People’s Plan for Nature. We have developed a reputation for best practice public dialogue, deliberation and capacity building. We want to grasp the opportunity for deliberative practices to make a real contribution to the change needed to respond to the climate crisis.
This role will primarily sit within our Innovation and Practice (I&P) function but will work closely with our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) and Advocacy and Communications (A&C) functions.
The I&P function is responsible for the deliberative, dialogic and participatory projects and processes that we run. The CB&S function aims to build capacity both inside and outside of public institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public participation in decision-making. The A&C function aims to build political and public understanding of and support for making participation and deliberation an everyday, integral part of our democracy.
The Climate Engagement Lead will play a central role in taking Involve’s work on climate, environment and the just transition forward. It will mean a collaborative approach - co-creating and coordinating our strategy on public engagement through a cross functional work group.
The job will also involve leading several of our major climate change and nature projects, including the UKRI Thriving Places project; maintaining and growing our reputation in climate and environment networks; and communicating the contribution we can make and impact that we are having. Importantly, this role will work closely with others also working on these areas of work.

About Dogs for Good
Inspired by the way her own dogs instinctively wanted to help, our founder, Frances Hay set up the charity in 1986. France’s vision was to help disabled people by training assistance dogs to make daily life easier. In 2015 we changed our name from Dogs for the Disabled to Dogs for Good to reflect the wider community that we support.
Our groundbreaking work has shown us how dogs and the bond we share with them can lead to happier, healthier lives. Our work is bringing the best out of a person and dog relationship and we achieve this in many ways- some of these are: · matching people with our highly skilled assistance dogs
· helping families make the most of the relationship with their own dog
· providing community-based support for groups of people who can benefit from a connection with our dogs
· working with research partners to advance our work and advocate for the wellbeing and inclusion of people and dogs who support them
About Our Workplace
Dogs for Good is dedicated to advancing the boundless possibilities of what a connection between people and dogs can enable – in making everyday life fuller, healthier and happier for everyone involved. We want to support more people to benefit from these connections and we have an exciting new strategy to expand our reach and impact.

We’re looking for a team member to help drive our Service Delivery Hub pilot project in the southwest area, close to Bristol, during 2025.
Are you someone who enjoys a role that’s all about:
· making impactful connections and partnerships with people and organisations
· creating and nurturing a welcoming and supportive community for everyone connected to Dogs for Good in that locality – our staff, our dogs, our volunteers and the people we support (potential, new and existing)
· being part of a pilot project team; objectively testing what works and what doesn’t, providing feedback and evidence on the best structures, tools and processes we want to keep and repeat
· Getting stuck in and hands on – and equally enjoys looking at ‘the big picture’ and helping shape future organisational plans
