- A solid understanding of digital media, online trends and the changing media landscape
- Recent experience of creating cut-through viral content that persuades new audiences of progressive arguments.
- Experience in running effective training for diverse groups of people, and making those training inclusive.
- Experience developing the personal brand, tone and positioning of an organisation, spokesperson or individual online.

About us:
NEON is a capacity and infrastructure building organisation that seeks to accelerate the transition to a new economy by building the power of social movements - because without strong social movements we lack the power we need to win. We deliver trainings, develop resources, facilitate collaboration and work in partnership with key movement allies, especially in the climate, housing and migration movements. Our focus is on strengthening the organising, communications and strategy skills of social movement organisations, as well as deepening movement alignment, as we believe these are key to building collective power. As part of our work, we are looking to change the starting point in social movements from “what do we agree on” to “what can we win together?”
We also aim to mirror the change we want to see in social movements in the way we run the organisation internally. To that end, we are committed to building a workplace centred on joy, care and justice, whilst maintaining healthy boundaries of what a workplace is. We do this because it is important to live our values and principles, and because strategically an organisation with a healthy culture and strong foundations ensures we are always one step ahead in the fight for a just and sustainable future.
To build a culture and community that lasts, we organise around three values:
● Solidarity - we’re here to change the system and that requires working together across issues and sectors that aren’t normally in the same room. This means placing anti-oppression at the heart of our work and building the power of people most often affected by injustice to change the leadership of our movements
● Generosity is about sharing our time, resources and learning with one another as we support each other’s work. It means being open and honest with one another, especially when we hit problems, and thinking creatively about how we positively build from there
● Respect is the bottom line for all relationships in NEON. It means being respectful of different backgrounds and life experiences and giving space for all voices to be heard. This often means listening more than we talk and being open to changing ourselves as a result of what we hear.
We know that people from certain backgrounds and identities are often excluded in progressive movements and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this.
So:
- We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Disabled people and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
- We know the work goes way beyond "diversity", it's about making the space inclusive too. So we are continuously working on that at NEON. So far this includes tangible things like a flexible work policy so people have genuine flexibility around where and when they work and a 28 hour week as standard; a gender-neutral parenting/leave policy, an anti-oppression strategy which is held at senior level given how important it is to the organisation. It also includes the day-to-day work of creating psychological safety for everyone at NEON and celebrating the wisdom of black, indigenous, queer, Disabled and other cultures in the way we work and behave
There are no formal education requirements for this role. As long as you can show us you have the skills we don’t mind where you got them from! Also important to us is your potential to learn and grow in the role so even if you don’t have 100% of the skills listed we want to hear from you.

We take bold action to uncover the root causes of injustice in our food system and expose how corporate power exploits people and the planet, while building truly just and resilient alternatives from the ground-up.

Second interview: 28th April 2026
About Us
We are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and Work.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way we work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.
About You
We are deeply rooted in local areas and we work with communities of all kinds. We use two particular approaches to this element of our work, one which is known as Organising (working with people to help them to help Nature in their own way – for example listening to their concerns about their local green spaces and supporting them to make improvements), and one which is known as
Mobilising (helping people influence changes for Nature - for example changing Government policy by engaging with their MP). Our intention is always to influence nature’s recovery.
This is an exciting time to join us. The purpose of this role is to support the Campaigning and Organising team as we develop a more equal balance between both approaches (“Organising” and “Mobilising”) so everyone can enjoy a wilder future.
You are a natural communicator and work collaboratively. You may be starting out in your career and looking for a role where you can make a meaningful contribution and positive impact.
In this role, you will be supporting work across the federation of 46 trusts to help mobilise supporters, driving locally-led action that contributes to nationally impactful campaigns, while building power within communities of all kinds so they feel more empowered to act for nature in their own ways.
We are looking for someone who is methodical and resourceful and believes in the power of teamwork.
You will thrive in a fast-paced environment. You will be keen to learn, be open to new challenges and excited by the development opportunities this role offers
Building meaningful, supportive relationships with Trusts and with communities is at the heart of what we do. You will play an important part in helping the Campaigning and Organising team to ensure everyone feels able to play their part, and help others take action too.
If you have the passion and enthusiasm to inspire people to help nature thrive, we would be delighted to receive your application.
We value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism, strength in diversity and we particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities as we are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.
We are committed to increasing the diversity of its staff through its Levelling the Field recruitment pledge and as a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming recruitment experience for all applicants. Applicants with disabilities and from ethnic minority backgrounds, will be considered for the next stage of the selection process should they meet all the minimum criteria for the role outlined in the person specification detailed as essential criteria in the recruitment pack. This commitment is intended to help reduce barriers and promote equal opportunity; however, it does not guarantee an interview.
We actively work to remove barriers throughout the recruitment journey and are dedicated to creating an accessible and supportive recruitment experience by offering reasonable adjustments at every stage of the recruitment process, as well as within the workplace. If you would benefit from any adjustments to support you during your application or interview process, please let us know and we will be pleased to put the appropriate support in place.
