Contract: Full-time, 2 year fixed-term
Salary range: dependent upon experience and location
Position overview
This is an exciting opportunity to work with the leading NGOs dedicated to the protection, conservation, and restoration of the world's oceans. The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), Oceana, The Nature Conservancy, The Pew Charitable Trusts and WWF are working together as the EU IUU Fishing Coalition to promote EU leadership in improving global fisheries transparency and governance to end illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
Since 2014, the Coalition has been working to improve the EU's own anti-IUU fishing systems and policies, and to promote some of the EU’s best practices on ocean governance and fisheries transparency in other regions such as East Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Using the EU’s influence as a major flag and market State, we are helping the EU to drive policy change at the global level, prioritising increasing transparency in the fisheries sector as a means to improve global fisheries governance. To achieve this, we are working with the EU as it implements its zero-tolerance commitment against IUU fishing and to improve ocean governance, urging EU agencies and states to be ambitious and ensure that positive reforms are sustained. We are also engaging the EU, as a major global player, to work more closely with other seafood markets, such as Japan and the US, to harmonise policies to stop IUU fishing. To make this happen, we are engaging with key decision-makers, strengthening relationships with the seafood industry and the NGO community, engaging citizens on the topic, using media strategically and providing intelligence to the EU.
To oversee the delivery of these objectives, the Coalition is seeking a full-time Project Coordinator to work closely with the Strategic Board and working level project partners (core group) to achieve the successful management of the project.

This is an exciting chance to really make a substantial difference to the number of young people who can be reached by Active8.
Ideally we are looking for a candidate with experience of youth work delivery, leading on projects and running events.
However willingness to learn, passion for the cause and transferable skills count for a lot and training will be provided if you do not have direct experience but you are creative, good at organisation, enjoy building relationships and have an eye for detail.
An average week might involve a residential or day activity with our group. It might be meeting members on a 121 to support them with their individual needs or planning the next exciting event for our members to attend.
As you would expect when working for a small charity no two days are the same and we all ‘muck in’ doing things outside of any job description - which will make working at Active8 so varied and enjoyable.
The post holder will not be expected to provide personal care. The successful candidate may be required where appropriate to support young people with tasks such as eating their food, drinking, pushing people in wheelchairs and supporting them on activities.
Job description
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated youth worker who has excellent planning skills, is great at communicating with different groups of people and the ability to support our members to lead.
Preferably the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate previous experience of leading on successful youth work projects, have experience of 121 and lone working, experience of managing relationships at varying levels, an understanding of disability awareness and working to budgets.
The post holder will be required to manage the day-to-day jobs of the Illumin8 project predominantly working with 18-30 year olds. This will include planning and running events, organising members to get to events including transport and adaptations needed and supporting members with 121 support. The candidate will also be responsible for supporting the rest of the team and other projects we run including Acceler8 and our Advocacy work.
We can’t emphasise enough how much we value transferable skills and passion so please do not be put off from applying if you are applying from a different sector/role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
