RSPB Cymru’s vision is for sustainable land management, which is good for people, climate and nature. We want to see farming, forestry and other land management across Wales that:
- Sustains and restores biodiversity as well as producing safe, healthy food, timber and other commodities;

To deliver our vision we need to work with others to change how land is managed.

It’s also vital we engage wider society to support these changes and make nature/environmentally friendly choices in the way they eat and live.
We are looking for a Policy Officer to join our Wales Land and Sea Policy and Advocacy Team to develop and advocate RSPB Cymru policy positions and proposals on sustainable farming and land management, including the effective use of nature-based solutions.

- Working closely with staff delivering communications and public engagement to build public and political support for our land use and management policy priorities.
- Increasing public awareness about the connection between land use/management, farming, food and the dual nature and climate emergency.
We are looking for a professional, persuasive and engaging individual with an excellent understanding of current agricultural and land use policy as tools to ensure outcomes for nature, and credibility within relevant stakeholder communities. They should have the skills and personality to be able to bring together dynamic coalitions of interested stakeholders to build, shape and advocate for new policies to secure sustainable land management that is good for people and good for nature.
