About the Role
Are you passionate about the intersection between climate change, disability and the natural environment? Are you interested in leading an innovative Climate Action Fund project that aims to create inclusive, climate-resilient urban spaces for Disabled people in London? Funded by the National Lottery Climate Action Fund, over four years, Green Horizons will develop and test a scalable model of disability-inclusive climate action, with Disabled people recognised as leaders in resilience at local, city and national levels.

Centered around the principles of the Social Model of Disability, Green Horizons focuses on the intersection of climate change, disability and the natural environment. It will remove barriers to participation so that Disabled people and Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations (DDPOs) co-produce how local climate solutions are designed, delivered and sustained.

Green Horizons will be delivered by a partnership made up of Groundwork London, Inclusion London, Disability Rights UK, Co-Production Collective and Inclusion Barnet. The Green Horizons Programme Manager will have a central role in coordinating the partnership, responsible for programme planning, coordination, implementation and monitoring, and working with partners in the delivery of work packages. The Programme Manager will ensure co-production and the social model of disability principles and values are embedded into all elements of service delivery.

Groundwork takes practical action to create a fair and green future in which people, places, and nature thrive. We support local communities and businesses to build capacity and resilience, which is vital to tackle hardship, achieve a just transition to net-zero, and help nature recover in a way that reduces inequality and leads to better work and healthier, happier lives.
