About Us
Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK. We urgently need to phase out oil and gas drilling to stay within safe climate limits. Yet, despite having renewable resources in abundance, the UK remains Europe's second largest oil and gas producer.
We can and must be ambitious about moving past oil and gas production, while empowering and supporting workers and communities who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.
Working with everyone from policy-makers and Parliamentarians, to academics and campaigners, Uplift undertakes research, analysis and campaigning to support a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.
The Role
We are currently looking for a Campaigner to join our growing team and support a new energy campaign that challenges the Scottish Government to help create an energy system for Scotland that works for workers, communities, the Scottish public and the planet.
You'll be working with a team including external partners to convey a simple, powerful, united vision for the future of Scotland's energy system that cuts through the noise and presents a more democratic energy system that brings tangible benefit to people's lives.
You will be helping to support a network of unions, impacted communities and workers, climate groups and community groups powerful enough to hold the Scottish government to account, and creating public pressure on Scotland's politicians to take positive action on the future of Scotland's energy system.
Core responsibilities will include:
