Digital Campaigner (UK)  

Location: Newark as office base - Hybrid working  

Salary: Up to £28,000  

Full Time: 35 Hours per week  

Permanent Contract  

Closing date for applications: 21 August 2022 

First Interview: 31 August 2022

Our client builds up the noise and public weight behind their local and national asks. With hundreds of thousands of campaigners already standing with them, their campaigners prove that they’re not alone in wanting urgent, positive change. Their ultimate goal is to inspire and empower at least 1 in 4 people to influence local and national decision-making on behalf of wildlife and wild spaces.

Who they are

They are a grassroots movement of 850,000 members, 38,000 volunteers and 2,800 staff across the UK. In the face of the interlinked climate and nature crises, they strive towards of a Wilder Future and believe this can be achieved through a joined-up system (which they call a Recovery Network) that can allow the natural world to thrive once more. It’s imperative that the UK’s precious wildlife and wild spaces are properly valued and protected, and that nature across at least 30% of land and seas is given the chance to recover.

As a company, they have scaled up their collective campaigning activity over recent years and are now also at an exciting point in delivering on their movement-wide strategy, where people taking action for wildlife is one of their three strategic goals. Working across the 46 independent charities which form their federated movement, they’re seeing increasing numbers of people stepping in to tackle these crises with them – enabled and supported by the central Campaigning and Communities team.

Right now, they’re bringing their digital campaigning platforms to the fore, to help them reach and engage with even more people. And they’re using a facilitation approach to enable and support Wildlife Trusts to build their own campaigning skills and experience, as well as working together to build a diverse community of activists on the ground who will help them achieve what’s needed.

About you 

In this role, you will be campaigning for that wilder future. Your focus will be on delivering changemaking campaigns across the UK – campaigns that shape government plans for nature’s recovery; fight against the impacts of development and poor conservation; help bring pollinators back to abundance; influence opportunities that will allow nature to weave through and across our neighbourhoods once more. At the same time, you will also work closely with individual Wildlife Trusts to support local campaigns - providing guidance and advice on campaign messaging, tools and tactics as well as building the user-friendly and inspiring digital actions and resources with them, that will resonate with all kinds of communities.

You will enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, be organised and resourceful and have a good eye for written detail. You will also be a skilled active listener, and great at encouraging teamwork and at drawing consensus from a range of views.

Our client value courage, respect, integrity, trust and responsibility. Whilst they are passionate in promoting their aims they are not judgemental, and they are inclusive. They want their people to be as diverse as nature itself and so they particularly encourage applications from those currently underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. They are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.

As a Disability Confident employer, they are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let them know if you require any adjustments to make their recruitment process more accessible. This role may be subject to a DBS check.
