The natural world is in crisis. Across the UK, the charity is working with people, from individual supporters, to farmers, to community groups, to support them in taking action. But they need to do more. The charity needs nature to be as popular as sport and as politically relevant as health. They need millions of people taking action and behaving differently for nature in order to influence the decisions and actions of politicians and businesses.

To halt and reverse the decline in biodiversity they need a response that is commensurate with the threat. The charity needs to bring people with them and they need to build a movement so irresistible, so diverse and so unstoppable that it can't be ignored. During the course of this maternity cover you will:

  • Lead on the delivery of a campaign to support their global influencing efforts to agree an ambitious deal for nature at the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),
  • Run several community organising pilot projects in urban areas across the UK,
  • Influence environment and food and farming policies, enable people to take action in their own lives,
  • Deliver multiple education and youth engagement programmes
  • Embark on an ambitious citizens project to create and implement a plan for nature
  • Be instrumental in delivering on the ambition of the charity’s Strategy to 2030 to enable more, and more diverse people to act for nature. 

Reporting to the Deputy Director of Engagement, the Head of Movement Building is accountable for their Campaigning, Community Empowerment, and Education, Families & Youth functions at HQ level. Working closely with country teams and colleagues across the organisation, you will lead a diverse team working on programmes that use both mobilising and organising approaches to drive the systemic change nature needs.

What the charity needs from you 

As a change leader and maker, you will have the leadership and influencing skills to drive transformational change across the charity and beyond. With demonstratable skills in campaigning and community organising, you will have the drive and energy to help build a diverse, people powered movement for nature.

You will have:

  1. Strong leadership skills to motivate a team
  2. Influencing skills to build relationships internally and externally
  3. Excellent communications skills
  4. Strong empathy and interpersonal skills
  5. Understanding of both mobilising and organising approaches to drive political, social and economic change
  6. Awareness of the environmental issues facing the UK
