What are we looking for?

Who you are: 

• A seasoned pro in Marketing, Social Media, or PR (we love both corporate and creative backgrounds!).
• Someone who understands the power of a "virtuous comms spiral"—how a single post can lead to winning hearts and minds. That means more volunteers, more bees and better mental health for residents.
• A strategic thinker who can guide a small, passionate team on best practices.
• Committed to equity and inclusion, ensuring our message reaches everyone, especially in nature-deprived areas.

Skills & Qualities:

• Marketing/PR Expertise: Significant professional experience in marketing, social media management, communications, or public relations.
• Storytelling Ability: A talent for translating complex ecological data and social outcomes into inspiring, human-centric stories.
• Strategic Mindset: Ability to think long-term about how digital presence contributes to our "Virtuous Spiral" of ecological and social renewal.
• Collaborative Spirit: Comfortable working with a diverse Board of Trustees and providing mentorship to staff or volunteers managing day-to-day posts.
• Commitment to Diversity: Understanding of how to use inclusive communication to reach "nature-deprived" urban areas and diverse demographic groups.

What difference will you make?

• Shape a Movement: Influence the public narrative around urban rewilding and the importance of nature for community wellbeing.
• Professional Impact: Use your skills to help a growing charity move from a local pilot to a recognised national model.
• Networking: Join a dedicated team of environmental experts, community leaders, and governance professionals.

Nature Connection: Directly contribute to the recovery of "Spotlight Species" and the greening of London’s urban corridors.
