It’s an exciting time to join the Ramblers as we have recently refreshed our strategy and created new roles to support the delivery of our long-term ambitions.
We need your drive, knowledge, skills, and creativity to help us raise awareness of the Ramblers and what we stand for, enabling the charity to grow its supporter base and open up the joys and wellbeing benefits of walking to many more people.
About us
The Ramblers is Britain’s walking charity. We open the way so everyone can enjoy the benefits of walking.
It’s easy to think everyone has the same opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. But look a little deeper and you’ll find lots of barriers standing in the way. So we’re continuing to fight for change. We campaign for the public’s right to enjoy the outdoors, protect paths, build skills and offer different ways to get out walking in nature.
Our programmes have a big impact in local communities: Ramblers Wellbeing Walks help people take the first step to a healthier happier lifestyle, and the Ramblers Out There Award gives young adults aged 18–26 the opportunity to kickstart their journey into the outdoors.
Through our refreshed strategy, we’ll build on this experience and grow our impact through activities that prioritise the needs of communities who have the least access and face the most barriers walking outside in nature.

- coordinating with external partners, suppliers and contractors to ensure project requirements are met
- updating stakeholders on progress through regular status reporting
- managing project closure, lessons learned and transition to business as usual
- Improve standards and rigour in project management across the organisation through the introduction of best practice approaches and by coaching project teams.
- Enable senior leaders to effectively support project delivery by providing a regular portfolio health report.
Impact
- Key strategic projects and programmes will be delivered on time and to budget and achieve the desired outcomes; standards of project management across the organisation will be raised and the confidence of the Executive Leadership Team in delivering the strategy will be enhanced.
