Wye Now Campaign and Advocacy Officer
High Street, Llandrindod Wells, Powys, LD1 6AG
RWT’s campaigning efforts have significantly helped to put the River Wye on the political agenda. We work with partners both nationally and locally to win support for meaningful action and change, while delivering advice and practical management in the catchment, across the wider team.
Join a vibrant and energetic team, living and working in Mid Wales, and work with colleagues delivering landscape scale work focused on the uplands, rivers and our own estate, which includes Gilfach Nature Reserve and Wilder Pentwyn Farm.
You’ll work closely with colleagues at The Wildlife Trust and Wildlife Trust Wales, building action with partner organisations and community groups across the catchment, sharing common messages and calls for action across Wales.
With elections both locally and in Welsh Assembly elections over the next 2 years, following a new government in Westminster, there will be a concerted focus on ensuring actions for clean and healthy rivers feature in debates and discussions and that there is a clear understanding that connected landscapes and wildlife-rich habitats, giving space to nature, are well funded and supported at all levels of decision making.
As a Wildlife Trust, we fundamentally understand the value of healthy environments and the codependency of people and nature. Our community is made up of people who see the value in healthy eco-systems and healthy rivers. It is also people that will be directly impacted by the changes we foresee in the Wye catchment happening. Livelihoods will be lost if farming is unable to continue due to loss of income, livelihoods will be lost if the rivers flood with greater regularity and intensity, unchecked, and damage local communities.
Closing date for applications: 12th July
