As we near the mid-point of CPRE’s latest strategy, our award-winning campaigns are going from strength to strength.

The campaigns team work on a broad range of topics including:
• Hedgerows – calling on the government to expand and restore the hedgerows network to mitigate climate change.
• Renewable energy – calling on the government to triple onshore wind and solar energy to tackle the energy and cost of living crisis and for solar energy, to make the most of the space we have on our domestic and commercial roofs.
• Planning – campaigning against the government’s damaging proposals to dismantle the planning system and for a planning system that puts communities, homes people can afford and our climate at its heart.
• A countryside for all – breaking down barriers to accessing the countryside for marginalised groups.

Coalition Co-ordinator, Better planning coalition
Job ref: BPC-CC/chm
Contract: 12 month fixed term contract
Based: London N1 7NH office based but the ability to work 2-3 days from home
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 per year (depending on experience)
This is a fantastic opportunity for a senior lobbyist to lead the Better planning coalition, which is a broad coalition of 26 organisations from across a range of sectors at a crucial time for planning legislation and policy.
The Better planning coalition is committed to working together in partnership on the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill and the review of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for the benefit of climate, nature and people.
Our coalition recognises the value of working collaboratively in order to maximise our influence. We are all committed to the overarching ‘Six tests for planning’, which will form the foundation for our coalition work on both the Bill and the NPPF. In order to help us do this well, we have secured funding from the European Climate Foundation for a senior influencer to lead the coalition for one year. To underpin this person’s work, we have produced a ‘Ways of working’ document, which has been developed and agreed by coalition members. The Better planning coalition is a formalised version of a looser coalition that has been working together since August 2020 in response to the government’s ‘Planning for the Future’ White Paper.
Better planning coalition members include:
- Action on Empty Homes
- Bat Conservation Trust
- Chartered Institute for Archaeologists
- Community Planning Alliance
- Council for British Archaeology
- CPRE The countryside charity
- Cycling UK
- Friends of the Earth
- Heritage Alliance
- Long Distance Walkers Association
- Mammal Society
- National Trust
- New Economics Foundation
- Open Spaces Society
- Quality of Life Foundation
- Ramblers
- Rights : Community : Action
- RSPB
- Shelter
- Sustrans
- The Wildlife Trusts
- Town and Country Planning Association
- UK100
- UK Green Building Council
- Wildlife and Countryside Link
- Woodland Trust
You would be employed by CPRE, which places high value on equality. We treat everyone with respect and consideration because we know it’s the right thing to do. We also know that diverse teams make much better decisions, are more creative and more stimulating to work in. So, if you join us, you will be able to help us put equality, the environment and diversity at the centre of everything we do.
We hope you like the sound of the job and will take the time to apply!
