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.

Like a detective, you will be the person we rely on to seek out and identify the smoking gun - as well as to meticulously build out the pieces of the jigsaw - that demonstrates the malpractice, illegal behaviour or mismanagement of a water company, a factory farm or a failed regulator.

• Monitor government regulators and industry updates, tracking regulatory programmes, announcements, data, reports and other information.

• Develop and lead proactive data collection efforts including by making Freedom of Information (FOI) and Environmental Information Regulation (EIR) requests to inform and support campaigns, legal actions, investigations and communications.

• Analyse and interpret complex data to uncover key insights that drive impactful campaigns and communications.

• Map and assess major campaign factors, including pollution sources, supply chains, regulatory frameworks and industry compliance.

• Investigate polluters, evaluating their legal obligations, governance structures, sustainability claims, environmental performance, finances and resource allocations.

• 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.

• Research and propose solutions to environmental challenges, including technological advancements, regulatory changes, and financial incentives.

• Present research findings in clear, accessible reports that highlight environmental challenges and potential solutions.

• Produce compelling, data-driven reports and surveys for external publication, ensuring high engagement and impact.

• Collaborate with communications teams to translate complex data into visually engaging content for traditional and digital media.

• Provide accurate and up-to-date intelligence to strengthen campaign communications.

• Build partnerships with analysts, researchers, universities, think tanks, and third-sector organisations to collaborate on research and data-sharing initiatives.

• Manage relationships with external contractors, including researchers, polling firms, and academics, as needed.

• Support fundraising efforts by providing key data and insights for campaign and fundraising teams.

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

• Stay informed on advocacy, policy developments, and key relationships to strengthen research and analysis strategies.

• Contribute to shaping River Action’s position and key messaging to keep them fresh and relevant.

Through research, policy and events, the national network for neighbourhood improvement, is sharing and shaping the best and next practices and helping disadvantaged communities rebuild. 

The Role

The to-do lists you write and the skill sets you engage will vary. One day you might be scoping and delivering 3ni’sresearch programme, the next devising plans for growing our membership and the next working closely with our Operations Director to develop, refine and execute our business plan. You’ll also play a key role in iterating our innovative diagnostic tool Discovery, using cutting-edge data to support us to engage our key audiences. You’ll not only help us to get new partners on board, but also play a key role further engaging our existing ones, making sure they stay connected to the work we do. You’ll build strong and trusting relationships that enable us to deliver our consultancy work, securing credibility, influence and impact for our work responding to challenges facing some of our most disadvantaged communities.

What we need

You’ll be as happy in the world of policy and strategy as you are in the day to day reality of practice and delivery and can see the big picture as well as having an attention to detail and the highest of standards when it comes to producing content.

• You’ll be dealing with numbers and often complex data, and are as comfortable being immersed in spreadsheets to put together the budget and costs for a project as you are checking the interdependencies whilst putting together a GANTT chart and project management plan.
• You are a proficient and accomplished communicator. You’re as at home with the written word as you are talking through the key points of a presentation.
• You are an experienced, entrepreneurial and proactive thinker, designer and doer, who can bring creativity, critical thinking and business development skills to the role as we work together in a small 3ni team, as part the wider Capacity organisation, and with the broader ecosystem of partners.
• You’re great at mastering a brief. You’re happy wading through research reports and datasets, and are able to use your brilliant analytical skills to get to the heart of the matter and obtain the key insights and information relevant to our work.

About us

Alne Wood Park is a natural burial ground owned by the Heart of England Forest.

The burial ground provides a biodiverse environment encouraging wildlife both within the burial ground itself and in the surrounding woodland. 

The site is open for burials of local and non-local residents, regardless of their beliefs and religions. Burials can be conducted between 10am and 3pm. With no more than one burial per day, families have time to conduct funerals without pressure to leave.

After a funeral, over the next few months, the grave-site will be levelled as it settles and subsequently planted with a special blend of wildflower and grass seed that matches existing species from the site. At this point a small subtle stone or wood plaque can be purchased. This allows memorialisation but balances it with maintaining the natural look and feel of the site. 

As Association of Natural Burial Grounds members, we are committed to their code-of-conduct and are also looking to develop best practice in-line with guidance for a green funeral. In addition, the manager of Alne Wood Park is a member of both the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management and also the Good Funeral Guild. 

About the role

We are seeking a compassionate and organised individual to join as our Alne Wood Park Coordinator.  

In this role, you will be involved in building a trusted relationship with a variety of stakeholders including site users, funeral directors and celebrants. You will approach matters sensitively and use your exceptional communication skills to support users arranging funerals, liaising with the other professions involved to ensure that funerary operations are undertaken to the highest possible standards.  You will be responsible for maintaining accurate plot records, submitting statutory documentation and responding to enquires.

This is a fulfilling role, and your passion for natural burials will be evident when you promote Alne Wood Park Natural Burial Ground through a range of marketing campaigns, attending events and public engagement activities.

The Heart of England Forest is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. Applicants must be willing to undergo protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and a DBS disclosure.
