The role:
We are looking for a bright and experienced individual, a self-starter with experience of
leading high-profile campaigns, to join our team in an exciting new phase of our work to rein
in the damaging impacts of salmon farming. A passion for improving wild fish populations and
aquatic habitats is essential. Knowledge of sustainable food systems would be a plus.
This role will lead the roll out of our Off the table campaign.
This is a coalition campaign that aims to raise awareness of the negative environmental,
sustainability and welfare impacts of Scotland’s salmon farming industry, through the
hospitality sector.
We are at a pivotal stage in the campaign, with ambitious growth targets for the coming year.
This role will focus on targeting chefs, restaurants and other key players in the hospitality
sector, with the aim of expanding campaign support, and achieving greater industry and public
awareness (and increased public debate) around the negative impacts of farmed salmon. The role
will also support international NGO partners to run Off the table in their own
territories.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced campaigner to lead and shape a growing
international campaign, working as part of a small team on a fast-moving issue.
The role will include:

What it’s like to work for WildFish
We are the UK’s only independent charity campaigning for wild fish and their environment. We
take no government money, so are uncompromised in our goal to achieve UK waters that support
abundant and sustainable populations of wild fish and all other water-dependent wildlife.
Open-net salmon farming severely damages wild salmonid populations and compromises the
integrity of the marine and freshwater ecosystems. To enable ecosystems the opportunity to
recover, all open-net salmon farms should be closed, and the industry moved to closed
containment systems which put a physical barrier between farmed and wild fish and the wider
environment. Therefore, we campaign for the closure of all existing open-net salmon farms, and
robustly oppose any proposed expansion of existing farms or the establishment of new farms.
You will be a core member of a small, highly motivated team driven to really make a difference
for our water environments and wild fish populations.
Application deadline: 19th April. Interviews will be held shortly after.
