Our environment is facing massive challenges that require urgent action - but the political and economic climate makes progress challenging.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of the RSPB's influential team working in the Westminster Parliament. We are looking for a persuasive individual with a good understanding of parliamentary and political process, who can work as part of our team making the case for action to politicians and decision makers. This will entail creating and delivering plans that translate our strategy into productive engagement with politicians and their staff, the political parties, influential think-tanks and the political media.

You will work closely with policy, campaigns and communications colleagues on a range of issues to find imaginative ways to build support for the RSPB and its policies in Westminster and Whitehall, acting as lead contact for identified external audiences.

It is anticipated that the post will be based at our London Office, but regular working at our HQ in Bedfordshire will be required.
