We're hiring!

We are excited to be recruiting for two roles in ICRA: a part-time youth coordinator and a part-time community resilience coordinator. Both roles will be key in developing ICRA’s work and will help shape the collective response to our worsening climate crisis. More details below…

More details of the role and how to apply

The appointees for these new posts will be employed by the Climate Psychology Alliance (one of the three ICRA partner organisations, along with the Mindfulness Initiative and the Climate Majority Project) and will play a central role in ICRA.

ICRA has been established in the recognition that:

• we need greater community cohesion to support adaptation as the climate crisis escalates;

• the emotional impact of engaging with the climate crisis results in barriers to climate action at individual, community and national levels; and

• many people attempting to support psychological or ‘inner work’ in their local

  communities feel unsupported and under-resourced.

By ‘inner work’ we mean a diverse range of approaches that support individuals, groups and communities to process the feelings and thoughts that come from engaging with the climate crisis, such that they can build stronger, more resilient relationships and better engage in action without becoming overwhelmed. We recognise that ‘inner work’ cannot be separated from the relational and socio-material contexts in which individuals and communities live.

The CPA is also recruiting for other roles - find out more about all the roles here.

• Closing date 31 October 2025.

• Interviews in November.

• All roles available immediately, for one year in the first instance with the possibility of renewal.

• These posts are remote but UK-based, and require the right to work in the UK. Please see individual application packs for details.

• We seek to acknowledge systemic oppression, challenge assumptions and support an inclusive and diverse community. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who are from marginalised groups

If you any of these roles appeal to you, we warmly welcome your application - and please do share further if you know anyone else you think would be a good fit.

The ICRA Team

Thanks to National Lottery players, we are deeply grateful to have funding for this new project to support communities with the emotional impact of the climate crisis over the next five years.

This comes from the Climate Action Fund, a £100 million commitment over 10 years from The National Lottery Community Fund to support communities across the UK to take action on climate change and involve more people in climate action.
