Good Fish Guide Ratings Officer
Remote/Flexible (UK-based)

About us

We are the Marine Conservation Society, a UK charity fighting for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.

Right now, our ocean is at a tipping point. We’re polluting our waters and destroying precious habitats, harming the species that live there. This is reducing the ocean's ability to help fight the climate crisis. While a third of UK seas are protected on paper, less than 1% are well managed. We are determined to change this. Using people-powered action and with science on our side, we defend habitats and species, working with communities, businesses, and governments to encourage ocean-based climate action solutions across the UK.

We’re dedicated to helping businesses and consumers make ocean-friendly choices through rigorous research and sustainable seafood assessments.

With over 90% of global fish stocks already fished at or above capacity, our work is crucial to safeguarding our oceans. Our Good Fish Guide provides a valuable resource on sustainable seafood options and is a powerful tool for change.

We are now looking for a Good Fish Guide Ratings Officer to join us on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week, 12-month maternity cover contract.

The Benefits

- Salary of £26,500 - £31,000 per annum
- Annual leave starting at 25 days per year, plus Bank Holidays (plus closure over Christmas and New Year as extra time off)
- 6% employer contributions to our stakeholder pension scheme
- Full pay for 8 weeks of sick leave, then half-pay for a further 8 weeks (after probation)
- Flexible and remote working options
- Health and wellbeing support
- One paid day per year for volunteering with another charity of your choice
- Cycle-to-work scheme

This is a unique opportunity for a dedicated fisheries or aquaculture science professional to join our mission-driven team and make a tangible impact on sustainable seafood practices.

You’ll play a crucial role in producing scientifically rigorous sustainability assessments, helping shape the choices of consumers and businesses.

So, if you want to be part of a team dedicated to protecting our oceans, read on and apply today

The Role

As a Good Fish Guide Ratings Officer, you will conduct sustainability assessments of seafood for our Good Fish Guide, helping people make informed, ocean-friendly choices.

Working closely with our Fisheries and Aquaculture Team, you will conduct farmed and wild-caught seafood sustainability assessments, ensuring they follow the Good Fish Guide methodology and are scientifically robust.

You will also provide an up-to-date evidence base on the environmental impacts of various capture and production methods.

Additionally, you will:

- Support sustainable seafood projects and promote the Good Fish Guide
- Research and critically evaluate technical reports and policy content
- Summarise complex scientific information in a clear and accessible manner for a range of audiences

About You

To be considered as a Good Fish Guide Ratings Officer, you will need:

- A technical understanding of fisheries and/or aquaculture science or management
- Knowledge of aquaculture production and/or commercial fishing methods, including ecological risks and management issues
- Strong analytical and critical evaluation skills, especially when reviewing technical reports and policy documents
- The ability to summarise and communicate complex scientific information in a clear and accessible way
- The ability to research and assimilate information and material from a diverse range of sources.
- Excellent organisational skills for managing deadlines
- An undergraduate degree or equivalent in a scientific, natural resource management or conservation field or equivalent experience that delivers a technical understanding of fisheries and/or aquaculture science

The closing date for this role is 20th November 2024.

Other organisations may call this role Sustainability Analyst, Fisheries Science Officer, or Aquaculture Specialist.
