Environment jobs

Interested in an exciting, investigative role which helps protect forests, the climate and human rights? This may be the job for you.

Earthsight is looking for a researcher/campaigner to join our Latin America team, delivering impactful research, analyses and advocacy on forest-risk-commodity supply chains.

Earthsight is a London-based non-profit organisation dedicated to researching and investigating environmental and social crime and injustice. We use cutting-edge investigative methods to uncover and expose wrongdoing. Since emerging as a fully-fledged organisation in 2016, our reports have garnered headlines, won awards and triggered major changes by governments and corporations.

We seek to create positive change by influencing government policy, exposing greenwashing and raising awareness among key constituencies about the impacts of global supply chains on the world’s forests and forest communities.

Most global deforestation is driven by industrial production of a handful of major commodities, including beef, soy, palm oil and wood. A large proportion of this production is to meet demand in major international markets. Earthsight plays a key role in highlighting the complicity of corporations in the EU, UK and US in the destruction of ecosystems and human rights violations overseas. As part of global coalitions, we have succeeded in getting laws developed or passed in all these jurisdictions which aim to eliminate environmental or human rights abuses from these supply chains.

As part of a small team, you will monitor developments in Latin America and with the most important commodities driving deforestation and forest degradation there, including beef, leather, soy, cotton, wood. You will help deliver in-depth investigations which expose large companies for sourcing products linked to horrific abuses, and trigger government action in response.

The position is offered as a full-time permanent contract. The successful candidate would preferably be based in the UK and able to come into our office in London on a regular basis. Earthsight is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to ensuring careers in the charity sector are open to all. We value difference and believe it enhances our capabilities. We therefore particularly encourage applications from people from a range of different backgrounds.

• Keep abreast of wider policy and industry developments in key Latin America countries, including case studies of deforestation or rights abuses related to the commodities of concern, general developments with forests and with government policy related to the impact of commodities on forests
• Carry out additional desk research into chosen case studies, including by exploring shipment data, company reports and websites, satellite imagery, publicly available government datasets, corporate records and trading websites, and holding remote meetings with relevant actors including researchers and activists in the countries concerned
• Assist in planning and carrying out field research on selected cases if needed. Occasional travel to moderately risky environments may be required
• Provide detailed reports of research findings for internal review
• Assist with turning research findings into published reports, analyses, policy messages and recommendations, films and other external outputs.

• Assist with efforts to secure media coverage for reports, analyses and op-eds, including by helping draft press releases and brief journalists on details of research
• Assist in managing social media content, particularly on LinkedIn and X, including drafting and scheduling posts
• Support Latin America Team Lead in developing and implementing advocacy activities based on research findings and the organisation’s overall strategic goals, including by participating in meetings with policymakers, civil servants, NGOs and other key stakeholders (either remotely or in person in the UK or EU)

Who we are

For nearly 90 years, Yateley Industries has supported disabled adults to live, work, learn and play as part of an inclusive community.

Yateley is founded on the principle that disabled people should enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else. We have created a unique ‘village within a village’ environment where people can live independently, gain meaningful employment, learn new skills and connect with their community.

Today, we employ 58 disabled adults in paid supported work, provide safe and affordable accommodation and run a growing range of community and employability programmes.

Our impact is significant. Independent analysis shows that our model generates £5 in social value for every £1 invested in us.

Our next chapter

We are at a critical moment in our development. With demand rising, a 47-unit supported housing estate ready for redevelopment, new commercial opportunities emerging in our factory and increased national interest in supported employment, we are ready to accelerate our plans for growth.

To deliver this, we are appointing a Deputy CEO for Operations and Enterprise to provide strategic operational leadership and drive commercial growth across the organisation. This new role has been created to strengthen our senior team, improve our operational resilience and enable our CEO to focus on external influence, partnerships and national advocacy.

Why this role matters

Supported employment changes lives. National policy is shifting, employers are calling for inclusive recruitment pipelines, and our model provides a return on investment and makes a difference. With a 90-year heritage, a waiting list of people who want to work with us and growing national visibility, this is a rare opportunity to play a central role in transforming a charity with extraordinary potential.

Leading operations, income and enterprise

This is a significant role for us, and you will:

• Lead four major workstreams: intensive housing management, factory commercialisation, tendering and employability and community hub income growth
• Strengthen operational systems, quality assurance, safeguarding, governance and performance monitoring
• Build commercial and social enterprise capability, setting clear targets, developing pricing models and securing new contracts
• Lead the housing transformation programme, including the Intensive Housing Management application, estate planning and recruitment of housing and maintenance posts
• Provide a clear and motivating presence for frontline staff, disabled employees and programme participants

Your aptitude, values and aspiration for your own growth are what we are primarily focused on. We do not expect you to be an expert in every area on day one. You will be empowered to develop and grow, and will have access to specialist support, particularly on housing and tendering.

What matters most is your commitment to supporting disabled people, your willingness to learn how to lead in new areas and your desire to ensure that Yateley can grow and help even more disabled people thrive.
