It’s a very exciting time to join the Ramblers. We have been instrumental in helping Britain experience the great outdoors for almost 90 years. But we are looking to the future, not the past.
We know not everyone has the same access to the outdoors, so we’re continue to fight for change. We campaign, protect paths and lead walks so no matter who you are, you can enjoy the benefits of getting out into the fresh air and wide-open spaces.
We need your drive, knowledge, skills, and creativity to help us raise awareness of the Ramblers and what we stand for, helping the charity grow its supporter base and meet our brand goals. Ultimately, you will help open up the joys and wellbeing benefits of walking to many more people.
About us
You might know us for our group walks, thousands of which take place every week across England, Scotland and Wales.
But there’s a lot more to the Ramblers. Since 1935, we’ve been fighting for the public’s right to enjoy Britain’s landscapes. We do it through campaigning for changes in legislation, opening up green routes in cities, maintaining paths and signposts, saving lost paths … and so much more.
Purpose of Role
We are looking for someone to help us shape public policy in Scotland in a way that ensures everyone can enjoy access to the outdoors. We want your help to make sure that those who currently have the least access are enabled to overcome the barriers they face, because they have the most to gain. You will help us engage with formal policy making processes, but also with the broader networks through which public policy is informed and shaped. You will become a key member of the small team that drives our public campaigning in Scotland.
The role
Key Responsibilities:
- Become the leading expert on access to the outdoors in Scotland and use your expertise to help make access more equitable.
- Create Ramblers Scotland policy and engage with formal opportunities to shape public policy.
- Develop and maintain high level professional relationships on behalf of the organisation to influence key stakeholders.
- Help Ramblers position itself in the Scottish public policy space and shape our campaign priorities.
- Develop and support a network of campaign volunteers and build their capacity.
The person
Knowledge and Experience
Essential:
- Good knowledge of policy issues relating to walking and the walking environment in Scotland or related policy areas.
- Proven ability to use your knowledge of Scottish political systems and structures to conduct effective advocacy.
- Line management of staff and/or volunteers or leading project teams.
- Ability to develop strong, collaborative relationships with stakeholder
Desirable:
- Ability to travel throughout Scotland and occasionally across Britain, full driver’s license and access to a car
- An active and demonstrable interest in walking and engaging people with the outdoors
The Ramblers promote diversity and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
Values and Behaviours
Our values are the core principles that guide us daily in our work and our membership of the Ramblers. We all share the passion that walking is for everyone and by living our shared values we can ensure the Ramblers is an organisation to be proud of. Our values will earn trust for the Ramblers brand which will allow us to open up a world of walking opportunities for even more people.
Inclusive – We make everyone feel welcome and part of the Ramblers community. We make sure we all feel respected and accepted and know our contributions make a difference in achieving our mission.
Inspiring – We strive to inspire people through the way we act and the things we say. We channel our passion and ambition so others are moved to help us achieve our mission.
Empowering – We empower and encourage each other to make a positive contribution to our teams and the Ramblers. We do all we can to make sure everyone has the ability, and feels confident, to take action.
Responsible – We take responsibility for ourselves and those around us seriously, by always acting in a safe and supportive way. We care about the environment and make sure we do what we say we will do.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Who We Are:
The Nature Conservancy’s mission is to protect the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that we can create a world in which people and nature thrive. We’re rooted in our Mission and guided by our Values, which includes a Commitment to Diversity and Respect for People, Communities, and Cultures. Whether it’s career development, flexible schedules, or a rewarding mission, there’s lots of reasons to love life #insideTNC.
Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that all our colleagues around the globe feel a sense of belonging, and that their unique contributions to our mission are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our Mission by hiring and engaging a diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we work. In addition to the requirements in our postings, we recognize that people come with talent and experiences outside of a job. Diversity of experience and skills combined with passion is a key to innovation and a culture of inclusion! Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
What We Can Achieve Together:
The Public Funding Manager will play an instrumental role within a dynamic team of professionals working together to deliver public funding needed for highly impactful conservation projects around the world that benefit people, nature and climate goals, including across Africa, Latin America, Asia Pacific and the Caribbean.
The Public Funding Manager is primarily responsible for managing the development and submission of high-quality project proposal applications to European public funding agencies that support TNC’s Shared Conservation Agenda programs in Europe and globally. The successful candidate will work with both conservation delivery and policy teams from around the TNC global network to ensure that funding proposals are crafted in a clear and compelling manner, communicate the technical and scientific nature of TNC’s global programs and meet the requirements of European public funders, including for gender equity and social inclusion, financial rigour, and convincing theories of change. Excellent writing, analytical and research skills are essential, as is the ability to collaborate well with diverse teams and deliver through others.
She/he/they will help to develop strategic partnerships with relevant European public funding agencies, conservation organizations, and other partners, to deliver long-lasting results across all TNC’s priority goals, including initiatives that help to: tackle climate change; support sustainable food systems; conserve precious habitats and ecosystems; deliver innovative approaches for financing nature and climate; empower Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities; and ultimately protect the lands and water upon which all life depends.
We’re Looking for You:
We are looking for self-motivated, detail oriented, and highly organized candidates who have experience developing public partnerships, managing public sector funding processes, and working in business development teams.
The successful candidate will serve as team lead or team member for public funding development projects, depending on the proposal. She/he/they therefore must have experience preparing public funding proposals, including drafting technical text, budgets, theories of change, and log frames. A solid understanding of budgets as they relate to grant proposals is necessary. You will have a good understanding of the policy and funding priorities of target public funding agencies/departments, including both technical requirements and broader cross-cutting themes such as gender equity and social inclusion, safeguarding, and Overseas Development Assistance criteria.
You will manage (or establish when needed) critical tracking tools which are essential to building and maintaining strong public sector partnerships, including an information database for proposals, an opportunity pipeline, a calendar of submissions and other deadlines, and an overview of how project teams are delivering to public funders’ delivery milestones. You will also advise colleagues on European public funding opportunities and requirements, conducting public funding research as necessary, to develop and maintain a solid understanding of relevant trends and developments.
You have the ability to prioritize projects to keep multiple projects moving in a timely manner, meet deadlines and manage supplemental material required for proposals. You are able to gather and synthesize information and communicate in a convincing and succinct form.
You enjoy building and facilitating internal networks and cross-team collaboration, coordinating other colleagues’ inputs towards shared end goals. You possess the ability to communicate sensitively with a diverse range of colleagues and partners from different cultures and backgrounds.
You will have the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge about the latest trends in conservation, including opportunities to visit and experience some of our conservation work on the ground. Over time, you will develop and maintain a clear understanding of TNC’s regional and global programs and their direction.
This is one of two Public Funding Manager roles we are currently hiring for – this position focuses on public sector funding opportunities within the UK, France, and from EU institutions, therefore prior experience working in these markets will be advantageous. The accompanying position focuses on public sector funding opportunities within Germany and German-speaking countries, as well as from the Nordic region. From time-to-time, both roles may have the opportunity to support, and gain experience of working towards, public funding opportunities from other countries within Europe.
Are you looking for a career to help people and nature? Guided by science, TNC creates innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that people and nature can thrive together. We’re looking for someone who is passionate, motivated problem-solver. Come join TNC and apply today!

About FareShare
FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to nearly 8,500 frontline charities and community groups.
The food we redistribute is nutritious and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.
Every year, more than three million tonnes of food go to waste in the UK, enough for 7 billion meals. Meanwhile, the cost-of-living crisis is driving millions into food insecurity.
We are fortunate to benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement. As a result, there has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness.
FareShare’s Strategy & Vision
Our vision is of a UK where ‘No good food goes to waste’. Our mission is to use surplus, fit-for consumption food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting frontline charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of poverty.

About FareShare
FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to nearly 8,500 frontline charities and community groups.
The food we redistribute is nutritious and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.
Every year, more than three million tonnes of food go to waste in the UK, enough for 7 billion meals. Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis is driving millions into food insecurity.
We are fortunate to benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement. As a result, there has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness.
FareShare’s Strategy & Vision
Our vision is of a UK where ‘No good food goes to waste’.

· Proactively identify sites, providing advice to farmers, landowners and communities, so that they can take action for nature by creating or improving nectar-rich habitats.
· Develop and lead volunteer opportunities, guided by the needs of the landowners and communities you are working with.
