Our goal at Kent Wildlife Trust is to ensure that 25% of the population of Kent is engaged with our work tackling the climate and nature crises. Both these roles are pivotal to that goal, working across a range of communications and marketing activities to promote our brand and ensure that as many people as possible are committed to a wilder Kent.  Working on ground breaking projects such as our bison release and wilder carbon, your responsibilities will span digital and traditional media to help our campaigns to reach audiences including businesses, policy makers, farmers and the wider public.  You will write and schedule social media posts and press releases, support the production of our membership magazine, deal with media enquiries and support the development of specific campaigns to promote Kent Wildlife Trust’s goals. This is an opportunity to have a positive and lasting impact on our environment and if you think you have the skills to succeed, we would be delighted to talk to you.  Please carefully consider the skills, qualities and experiences required for both roles and let us know which you are applying for on the application form.  You are equally very welcome to apply for both!
