Role: Sustainability Change Lead
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Sustainability Change Lead to join the Trust Sustainability Team in the Strategy, Research and Innovation Directorate. You will provide high-quality corporate leadership and operational implementation for the delivery of an innovative, Imperial Health Charity funded project called 'Clean Air Care' that explores the opportunities around embedding air pollution data in patient electronic records and training and educating clinicians to deliver personalised air pollution exposure reduction advice to patients.
Alongside this the post holder will take a lead role in delivering a number of other related Green Plan workstreams across the Trust.
About the Role
Tackling climate change emissions and improving air quality are closely related and part of our Green Plan Strategy. As one of the largest Trust’s in England we recognise that the health of the environment in the UK and the health of our planet is critical to achieving our vision of 'better health, for life'. Climate change is both an operational and population health issue, and with Delivering a Net Zero NHS committing to be the world’s first net zero national health service we recognise that we are at a critical juncture in history where climate change and other environmental pressures need to be met with a much more ambitious effort on an accelerated timeframe to prevent the permanent deterioration of our climate and natural resources.
