We are recruiting an extra member to join the CSEN committee as part of our Conference Team. The inaugural Civil Service Environment Conference will bring together civil servants from across the UK, in a one-day session of events, networking and awards in early 2023. The Conference Team is responsible for planning and executing the conference, including sourcing speakers, stallholders, and sponsors - as well as coordinating with other CSEN teams to deliver a high-quality event. We are recruiting for an additional member of the existing Conference Team, as work picks up and we move closer to conference delivery. What roles are available? Conference Team The existing team sits within the CSEN Committee’s Events Unit. Desirable (but not essential) experience: ● Events planning and management and/or, ● Sponsorship/partnerships/sales ● Logistics Please note: The Conference will be held in London; therefore, we are ideally looking for a team member based in London, or with easy access to central Westminster. You will be required to attend the conference in person, and to support as needed in person ahead of the event. However, please do not be discouraged from applying if you are based elsewhere in the UK Eligibility and time commitment? CSEN is open to all civil servants – and so is our committee. You need to be able to spend approximately 5% of your working week on CSEN and show flexibility at peak times. It is likely that in early 2023, especially in the weeks leading up to the conference, this time commitment will increase. Previous committee members have agreed with their line 1 managers that CSEN counts as their corporate objective, so you may be able to do the same. The CSEN Committee meets once a month to coordinate activities across workstreams and take collective decisions. Each team also meets on a regular basis away from the central committee. The role will start from the beginning of August 2022 and will run until April 2023 when the committee will hand over to the 2023-24 committee. When you accept a role on the committee, you are expected to commit to this role until April 2023 (unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as leaving the civil service). How do I apply? To apply for a committee role, please complete the EOI form here by 23:59 on Wednesday 27th July. The form includes the following questions (150 word limit per question): ● Why are you interested in joining the CSEN committee? ● What relevant knowledge, skills and/or experience would you bring to the roles? ● How would you shape and deliver the roles? Short, informal chats may be held to help select committee members. Any questions? If you have any questions, please get in touch via the CSEN mailbox: environment.network@faststream.civilservice.gov.uk.
