Are you passionate about creating a more just and sustainable world? We look for people who will enjoy the dynamic, fast paced and mission driven culture at Global Action Plan.
We are a compassionate employer giving the team trust and flexibility to manage their work around their lives. We work hard but enjoy coming together to come up with our next action plan, learn from each other’s interests and support each other to digest and respond creatively to the challenges that face our world.
Working for an organisation that has its values so central to its work is massively rewarding, and I've never worked with a better group of people.
The issues we work on affect everyone – but disproportionately impact those with the least resources and representation to change them. As such we particularly welcome applications from groups that are under-represented in the sustainability sector. We do not require formal qualifications or set experience for non-technical roles, if you have transferable skills, experience and passion for what we do – please apply.

Looking for a climate job that is the right fit for you?
We look for people who will enjoy the dynamic, fast paced and mission driven culture at Global Action Plan. We take great care to bring in people who reflect our values and who will thrive here. Our values are key to how we work across our projects, and within our team:
We are driven by compassion
Good for us, good for the planet - everything we do is driven by the health and happiness of all people and the planet. The way we live now is shaped by structural inequalities. We listen to, support and advocate for those who are most affected. We have fun on our mission, creating an inclusive environment where no-one gets left behind.
We challenge the norm
We're not afraid of tackling the thorny issues, we identify problems and tackle them at a systemic level. We know that the best solutions come from an inclusive approach, we bring people together to co-create change.
We listen and share openly
We listen to those most affected by the issues we seek to address and amplify lesser-heard voices. We hold ourselves to account for what we do and remain open to critique. We actively share our work so that it's widely used and impactful.
We get stuff done
We focus on impact and the end goals of the communities we serve. We are quick and nimble, acting on insights and listening and learning as we go. We understand that everyone is different so we find equitable ways around obstacles.
