The Conservative Environment Network (CEN) is the home for conservatives who support responsible environmental leadership. We are looking for an organised and motivated events and admin officer to support the coordination and delivery of CEN’s busy events programme and provide administrative support across the CEN team.

Events are a crucial part of CEN’s work as we seek to promote the cause of conservative environmentalism with our expanding network of parliamentarians, councillors, grassroots supporters, and overseas partners. This new role will involve working across the CEN team to support the design, coordination, and execution of our programme of roundtables, dinners, receptions, and overseas delegations, as well as our presence at Conservative Party Conference. It will also involve supporting the smooth functioning of CEN’s governance through managing our workplace policies and papers for our board and advisory council.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work across CEN’s climate, nature, clean air, outreach, and international programmes, as well as with the organisation’s senior leadership. We hope that there will be the scope to expand this new role in seniority and scope depending on funding and performance.
