We are River Action

At River Action, we’re on a mission to rescue Britain’s rivers from the devastating impact of agricultural, sewage, and industrial pollution. As a small but fast-moving organisation, we take bold action. We support grassroots movements, mobilise public opinion, influence government policy, and drive industry change to stop pollution at its source.

We’re looking for driven individuals who share our love for rivers and bring a creative, collaborative, and bold approach to campaigning blending sharp strategy with positively disruptive tactics that inspire real action.

If you want to be part of a movement making waves for cleaner, healthier rivers, we’d love to have you on board!

Who we are looking for

Are you passionate about using data to drive real change? Do you have the skills to turn complex information into compelling evidence that influences media, politics, legal action and public opinion? If so, we want you on our team.

We’re looking for a strategic, analytical and self-motivated individual who shares our passion for protecting rivers. You’ll play a key role in researching, analysing, and interpreting data and research to strengthen our campaigns, communications, and political advocacy work.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A sharp analytical mindset with strong research skills to uncover trends and opportunities for meaningful change.

• Excellent numerical and data interpretation skills, with the ability to translate complex information into clear, impactful messaging.

• Investigate government regulators including the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and Ofwat, analysing the performance of their monitoring, reporting and law enforcement duties.

• Maintain and update internal databases and fact sheets with the latest intelligence.

• Develop an in depth understanding of UK policy and legal frameworks relating to the regulation of rivers, and ensure colleagues are kept up to date with changes.

• Contribute towards River Action policy and advocacy work, ensuring our positions are underpinned by evidence and data.

• Ensure all River Action initiatives are evidence-based, current, and well-informed, and support colleagues requiring data and evidence for handling media opportunities.

• Ensure all team members are well-briefed on the latest data and intelligence when engaging externally.
