As part of a dispersed team, you could be based anywhere in the UK, so long as you’re able to travel to central locations to get together with colleagues, and on occasion to meet with colleagues in Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh and Birmingham.

In this role, key activities will include:

• Co-creating and delivering systems change campaigns on behalf of the RSPB, working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation.
• Responsibility to roll out systems change campaigns in two of the four countries of the UK (with another Senior Campaigner covering the other two).
• Recruiting and line managing professional volunteers to provide expert guidance or deliver campaigns. 
• Building key internal and external relationships to support development and delivery of systems change campaigns. 
• Maintaining technical expertise and analysis of external context relating to the current campaign and challenges facing nature.
• Ensuring compliance with legal, Charity Commission, and internal policy on campaigning standards.

What we need from you:

• A passion for nature, addressing climate change and campaigning!
• Relevant experience to effectively deliver the responsibilities and tasks of this role, including demonstrable campaigning experience.
• Ability to see the big picture, understand and simplify complex systems affecting nature.
• Ability to understand where, when and how to apply campaigning pressure for maximum impact.
• Ability to drive forward work in a complex, large organization and through a four-country operating model.
• Excellent time management skills to focus own time on the highest priorities.

General information

• From time-to-time, and particularly at the start of a new campaign, you will be expected to come together with others working on that campaign, and co-locate face-to-face for a few days. There will be some meetings together, and also the opportunity to work side by side on the project for a short period. The RSPB will subsidise any required accommodation or travel as per our Expenses Policy. This will help build relationships, break down silos, and make working together online easier and more enjoyable. This co-location will usually be at an RSPB office and will be agreed in advance. Outside of these co-location moments you will be based in your contracted place of work as usual. Reasonable adjustment to the above can be discussed with the Line Manager.
• Everyone in the RSPB has a role to play in creating an inclusive culture and we want our people and their behaviours to show this. As part of your role, it is your responsibility to:
• Work in a way that reflects our commitment to inclusion, with colleagues, external partners or the public.
• Demonstrate inclusive behaviour, which recognises the value of everyone’s contribution and experience.
• Demonstrate awareness of how your work is related to the organisation’s EDI work, including through our external communications if relevant to your role.
