About us

FWAG SouthWest is an environmental charity working with farmers and land managers to deliver practical change on the ground. We combine an understanding of farming businesses with environmental expertise to support better outcomes for nature, climate and food production. Our work brings people together: farmers, communities and partners to deliver change at a local and landscape scale.

You will also play a key role in how we respond to change across the sector, supporting teams to navigate new policy, funding and partnership opportunities.

About you

We are looking for an experienced leader who is motivated by enabling others to deliver. You don’t need to have experience in the environmental sector.

What matters is your ability to:

• Support and develop people to increase their capacity and confidence

• Work alongside teams to solve problems and keep delivery moving

• Manage complex programmes and competing priorities

• Put in place practical systems and structures that support delivery

This is also an exciting opportunity to help shape our developing digital fundraising activity. We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing ideas to the table, testing new approaches and helping us build stronger relationships with supporters.

• Working with colleagues across the organisation to plan upcoming campaigns and communications activity.

• Helping develop supporter journeys that encourage people to donate, volunteer, attend events or learn more about their local river.

About you

You'll be a confident communicator who enjoys creating content and finding new ways to engage audiences.

• Organised and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

• Curious, proactive and full of ideas.

• Confident using digital tools and analytics to measure success.

• Interested in environmental issues and motivated by making a positive difference.

• Happy working independently while also collaborating with colleagues across the organisation.

Why join us?

At South East Rivers Trust, you'll be part of a friendly and passionate team working to improve rivers for wildlife, communities and future generations.

You'll have the opportunity to develop your skills across communications, digital marketing and fundraising while contributing to meaningful environmental change.
