Flipping Point Developer/ Designer/ Project Manager

Payment:  Small fee is available (negotiable)
Location:  Oxford/ flexible

Flipping Point is envisaged to be an interactive website that helps put users in touch with and find out about the type of climate change action most suited to them. The idea is that new users will answer a series of simple questions that will lead them to the profile of someone like them who is already taking action on climate change.  The website will then guide them towards taking action on climate change in a way that is most suited to the particular individual. 

The Flipping Point project involves three roles.  We are open to accepting applications for any or a combination of these three tasks.  The roles are:
a.)    Developer:  Take forward the development of the site including putting in place all technical infrastructure.  Skills and some experience of developing websites.
b.)    Designer:  Design a clean and engaging visual identity. Graphic design skills required. 
c.)    Project Manager:  Take responsibility for overall management of the project including contacting people active in climate change to gather copy for the site, setting and following up on deadlines for all those involved etc.  Good organisational and communications skills required.

The successful candidate/s will have some interest in climate change.  For a discussion of what’s involved, call Tim on 01865 403 334.  To apply, please send your CV and covering letter to Tim Baster, Executive Director, tim@coinet.org.uk by 5th April 2010.
