Keep Scotland Beautiful is responsible for managing and administrating the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund. The CCF aims to support communities to take action on climate change through the provision of grants as well as the provision of development, training and networking support.  The Community Action Support Programme (CASP) is an important element of the support for communities; it is open to any community tackling climate change and it aims to help improve project performance, build community capacity for the long term and create links to the wider society.  A vacancy has recently arisen for a Community Action Support Officer who will be responsible for the development and operation of the CASP including working with partner agencies to help create a coherent approach to supporting community groups taking action on climate change.
