Job description

Are you a dynamic fundraising professional with a passion for protecting our rivers and waterways? 

Environmental non-profit Planet Patrol is at a pivotal moment of growth and evolution. We’re now seeking a proactive, highly organised fundraising professional to help continue this growth. If you have a proven track record in strategic partnership creation, grant fundraising, and have a knack and thirst for hitting financial targets, ideally for environmental causes, we want to hear from you! 

About Planet Patrol

Our vision is a world where all beings can enjoy our waterways, free from pollution. We are a global community dedicated to placing people-powered environmental data at the heart of decision-making. Through our unique anywhere, anytime, anybody approach to citizen science, we gather critical evidence of water and litter pollution to drive solutions that protect both environmental and human health. Our data and citizen science methods have been featured in academic journals (Stanton, et al., 2022) and media investigations (Channel 4 and ITV), enhancing public and scientific knowledge of litter pollution.
