We are looking for a passionate, organised, self-motivated individual to lead the Pesticide Collaboration’s efforts with decision-makers and journalists.

PAN UK and RSPB jointly launched The Pesticide Collaboration in January 2021 to work towards achieving a significant and urgent reduction of pesticide-related harms in the UK. It represents a broad range of interests and sectors such as health, environment and consumer and workers’ right and is made up of a variety of stakeholders including civil society organisations, farmers, trade unions and academics. For more info, see its website: https://pesticidecollaboration.org/

The successful candidate will be dedicated to pushing for environmental and social justice and enjoy working at a fast pace in a constantly changing advocacy environment. As Public Affairs and Media Manager, you will be involved in a wide variety of tasks including; lobbying decision-makers and liaising with journalists, writing online and offline communications materials, feeding into campaign strategy, public speaking, organising events and contributing to fundraising proposals and reporting. You do not need to have existing knowledge of pesticide issues but must be able to pick up new topics quickly and communicate them confidently.

You will be based at PAN UK and work closely with the Collaboration’s other full-time member of staff who will be based at RSPB and will be responsible for a range of project management and coordination tasks including communicating with membership organisations. You will also be part of PAN UK’s Policy and Campaigns Team and report directly to their Head of Policy and Campaigns.
