We are passionate about delivering positive environmental and social change in Scotland and are seeking a Development Officer with a similar passion to help us deliver and grow our activities.

Our Development Officers lead on the development and implementation of projects and programmes relating to: climate change and adaptation; green infrastructure; biodiversity; net zero; and the green recovery.

This role is one that suits individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including but not exclusively, the earth sciences, planning and landscape. It is equally important to have a desire to work with others to bring about positive environmental change. In addition to relevant experience and qualifications, we are seeking applicants with:

• Excellent communication skills, including working collaboratively to achieve shared goals.
• A positive, solution orientated and flexible attitude to their work.
• An excellent understanding of the policy background that drives actions to address the climate and biodiversity crises.
• A track record of successful project management.
