Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust Full time

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust is a grassroots movement working for nature's recovery and to bring people closer to nature.

'Our vision for a wilder future is beautiful and vital'

Our future has to be wilder

We are seeking a Policy & Advocacy Officer to join our cause.

We are looking for a highly motivated person with a passion and energy for politics to join our team and help us develop compelling policy solutions and advocacy campaigns to engage, inspire and influence decision makers in the run-up to the 2024 General Election and beyond to ensure nature's recovery is kept at the heart of the public and political conversation.

You will play a key role in securing nature's recovery across the two counties and beyond. Our recent campaign, such as our joint Tipner West Campaign with the RSPB successfully mobilised over 30,000 people to take action to oppose a development on legally protected habitats. We are soon launching an advocacy campaign to get legal protections in local and national policy for all our iconic chalk streams.

This is an exciting time for nature policy locally and nationally and you will be working to shape policy and how it is delivered on the ground, for example working on the Local Nature Recovery Strategies and driving councils to integrate the Strategy into their plans, policies and delivery.

We are happy to discuss the possibilities of hybrid and flexible working

This role will be based at our office in Curdridge, however, we are happy to accommodate a hybrid working routine, and discuss a pattern of work which is mutually suitable for the right candidate. Officially, office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm with an hour lunch break.
