You will be employed and hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University, supported by the Northwest hub of the Climate Ambassadors programme – Regional Hub Manager, Dr Cormac Lawler, and the Regional Hub Lead, Dr Rachel Dunk – to ensure you have the support you need to access the various expertise, networks, and resources the organisation has. You’ll also be an integral part of the national Climate Ambassador programme, including eight other regional hubs. This structure will mean you’ll have two primary reporting and support mechanisms – within the organisation and through the national programme team.
