Sustain is a leading alliance of organisations and communities working together for a better food, farming and fishing system. As an Environmental Policy Research Specialist, you will play a crucial role in supporting our research and campaign activities. The focus of this role is to address factory farming through the local planning system.

Our aim is to understand how planning policies contribute to the rise of factory farms and their negative environmental impact.

This role involves researching, analysing and synthesising complex information into concise reference material. You will work with the Sustain team to create and deliver a strategy to disseminate your findings, supporting our campaigning and cementing us as an authoritative voice on UK planning and factory farming.

As an Environmental Policy Research Specialist, you will have access to internal training and development opportunities during your internship. This includes a six-month placement with the Food for the Planet team, where you will gain valuable experience in research, data analysis, writing, and communication.

The estimated salary for this role is £35,000 per annum. If you are passionate about environmental issues and have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, we encourage you to apply.
