Wildlife and Countryside Link – Major Events Lead
Would you like to help deliver a major environmental event in 2025?
We’re looking for a Major Events Lead to coordinate and help deliver a significant event in 2025, focused on environmental recovery and holding Government to account for its record on nature.
The event will bring together the nature sector for what we hope will become an annual event, one that becomes a fixture in the political and press calendar, as well as a focal point for the environmental movement.
Can you help us pioneer this major event?
We’d like to find someone with experience of running major events, in a significant venue, with high-profile speakers and major political and public interest.
You’d be joining a small, dynamic Link team, but working with partners from across the UK’s nature charity sector. We hope this will be a chance to organise an event that makes a real difference for the future of nature.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates from under-represented backgrounds, including people of colour, disabled people and those from a low-income background, to be part of our small, friendly and collaborative team.
Find more information and how to apply here. To apply, please send your CV, with a short covering letter and a completed diversity monitoring form.
