Helping to position our client as the county’s leading conservation charity and will drive a strategic approach of how best to achieve wildlife protection in Essex.

 

Developing and leading the conservation vision for Essex is central to this role’s success.

Communicating in an engaging and compelling way, you’ll be able to tailor your style to engage a variety of different audiences.

 

They want their people to be as diverse as nature, so they particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. They are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.

 

As a Disability Confident employer, they are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let them know if you require any adjustments to make their recruitment process more accessible.
