You will be working with experts across the sector to deliver hard-hitting campaigning, engaging events and impactful, shareable content.

This is a unique and exciting role for someone with a keen eye for a story to turn vital policy and scientific thinking into eye-catching campaigning. You will be playing a big part in a small organisation while also delivering invaluable collaborative work on behalf of our huge network of 86 members. You will be working with household names like the RSPB, Butterfly Conservation and the National Trust, as well as a range of dynamic nature and animal welfare charities large and small.

This is a part time (2.5 days a week) role, salary pro-rata.
