PURPOSE
The Diocese of Newcastle is committed to becoming greener as it responds to the Church of England’s ambitious goal of reaching net zero carbon by 2030, while striving to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew life on Earth.
The Diocese is creating a new team, led by the Net Zero Manager, and is now seeking a fundraising adviser to identify and secure grants to support our efforts to become more sustainable and reduce emissions.
CONTEXT
In February 2020 the General Synod of the Church of England set an ambitious challenge: to reach net zero carbon across our parish, cathedral, diocesan and school estates by 2030. We have created a route map to achieve this, balancing the urgency of action needed with the very real operational constraints we face, aiming to find a way forward in a timely and realistic way. This fundraising adviser role is one of the key enablers to meet this challenge.
Closing date for applications: Monday, 12 January 2026 at 9am.
