‘Wetland Cities’ is a transformative five-year programme designed to establish Ramsar Wetland Cities in the UK.
This exciting programme of work will develop and establish varied and exemplar urban wetlands, from supporting local wetland projects as part of deep-rooted community partnerships through to facilitating the inclusion of nature rich wetlands as part of major urban renewal projects, and restoration of existing degrading and impacted wetlands.
This role will plan and deliver strategic communications for WWT’s Wetlands Cities programme. The post-holder will have the opportunity to shape strategic communications for a number of high-profile projects, as well as deliver creative communications across a range of channels and disciplines. Supported by the Senior Communications Manager, a key part of this role will focus on horizon-scanning, mitigating and managing potential and live risks to the project and the organisation. The post-holder will work alongside a number of multi-discipline project teams, with colleagues from Conservation, Science and Evidence, Philanthropy and Partnerships and Community Engagement, as well as external partners like local and combined authorities.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead in communicating some of WWT’s biggest nature restoration projects to new and existing audiences and raise the profile of WWT and the superpowers of wetlands. The post-holder may also have the opportunity to take part in delivering communications for other projects in line with WWT’s strategic aims and priorities.
This is a full time position working 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday.
