Would you like to help create a brighter future for nature?
We are looking for a Chemicals Policy Officer (or Senior Policy Officer) to help develop and
promote environmental policy on behalf of our 82 environmental charity members.
The Government has promised to halt the decline of nature by 2030. To succeed, the Government
must take a stronger grip on chemicals pollution, from pesticide pollution to toxic chemicals
in consumer products. Not a single river in the UK is in good chemical condition and not a
single corner of the Earth is free from man-made chemical contamination.
Your job will be to convene some of England’s best environmental policy experts to agree bold
and effective shared policy positions in all aspects of chemicals management, from licensing
and restrictions to monitoring and enforcement. There will be lots of thinking, lots of
writing, and lots of opportunities to shape shared campaigns. You will also play a key role in
delivering those messages to key influencers in Government and in Parliament, building powerful
partnerships with other sectors along the way.
So, we are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail, the ability to listen and negotiate,
and a reasoned and convincing style of written and verbal communication.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates from under-represented backgrounds,
including people of colour, disabled people and those from a low-income background, to be part
of our small, friendly and collaborative team.
Please find the full job description and how to apply here. To apply, please send your CV, with a short covering
letter and a completed diversity monitoring form by 5pm on Thursday 22 August.
