Policy and Campaigns Officer

Scotland is home to globally important seabird populations, yet most species are in decline - and Scotland’s natural environment is one of the most degraded in the world. Change is urgently needed to stop extinctions and restore our seas - and this exciting new role is your chance to help deliver that change.

Working as part of the Scottish Seabird Centre's conservation team, and collaborating closely with the CEO and communications colleagues, you will build a new policy and campaigns programme, mobilising our supporters and using your expertise to influence policy for good. We are seeking an individual with strong advocacy skills, a passion for nature, and a background in policy and/or campaigns, underpinned by solid organisational and programme management skills.
