We are seeking passionate individuals from all walks of life to form a network of Deanery Environmental Champions (DEC) to inspire, support and signpost parishes in committing to act for Creation Care and net zero carbon. This network will work alongside our Environment team as part of the diocesan commitment to steward and care for our planet. These are voluntary roles, but ongoing support and training is provided.
Role description
The role is to inspire, support and signpost parishes in committing to act for Creation Care and net zero Carbon. It is a voluntary role which sits within the newly forming Deanery Champions Network and the work of the wider Environment Team. DECs will be a key part of our Creation Care commitment. We welcome and encourage applications from all walks of life and seek to create an inclusive and diverse group to champion this work.
DECs will combine diocesan and national knowledge and guidance with local, on-the-ground experience and the passions and background of individuals. The core of the role is to support and encourage deaneries on environmental initiatives.
Commitment
The role is flexible, so no set times or hours are required, meaning you can commit as little as a few hours a week- however, evening and weekend time may be required for deanery and parish meetings and training sessions.
