Would you like the opportunity to work as a Sustainability Projects Assistant in the King’s sustainability team?  

We’re currently [June/July 2014] recruiting for a number of roles in the sustainability team to work with us either over the summer or longer term. As well as providing day to day support for the team the projects that you could be involved whilst working with us include:

  • Sustainability strategy development
  • Sustainable procurement strategy
  • Sustainable food and Fairtrade
  • Sustainability communications and engagement
  • Sustainable labs
  • Carbon reduction
  • Waste management
  • Water reduction
  • Education for sustainable development
  • Data management and analysis
  • Biodiversity
  • Sustainable construction and refurbishment
  • Implementing an environmental management system – ISO14001

See the Careers Group website for more details and to apply.

Passion and commitment to sustainability is a pre requisite but it doesn’t matter what your degree is. We are looking for at least one person to start straight away but we will also accept applications from anyone who can’t start until later this year.

This is offered under the Step internship programme which gives you an income exempt from tax of £308 a week for up to 6 months. There will be an opportunity to apply to extend the placement for up to a year. The role is for King’s students or graduates only.

Please contact Kat Thorne, Head of Sustainability with any questions about the role. If students are interested in researching sustainability at King’s for a project or dissertation, please also be in touch, we would be happy to help.

Watch this space for future opportunities in 2015.
