Summary
About The Role
Do you enjoy working in a global context to deliver practical benefits for wetlands and people?
We have an exciting opportunity within our International CEPA (Communication, Capacity Building, Education, Participation and Awareness) Team to deliver world-class learning tools to support wetland conservation across the globe. With wetlands still disappearing and degrading at pace, we urgently need to work with partners to build capacity of partners at wetlands locally, nationally and across flyways. Your role will be to support the next phase of our wetland learning hub (WLH), creating a suite of learning opportunities in our key international regions.
The WLH has successfully completed its pilot and has been awarded funding to develop the approach across our three key regions: West Africa; Madagascar; and Indo-Burma. You will support the development of the new virtual learning environment, creation of learning tools such as online lectures, webinars and workshops, and developing an online resource platform.
This is a fixed term contract for 24 months. The role will work 30 hours per week across 4 days with the option of being based at Slimbridge Wetland Centre with hybrid working opportunities or home based.
Our CEPA team is recognised as world-leading, supporting global environmental agreements, regional initiatives, governments and local partners. We promote the effective communication of the importance of wetlands to the widest range of audiences, encouraging them to take action. Your skills will help us to grow, resulting in the creation of champions for wetlands across the globe.
About You
We are looking for someone with experience of delivering environmental education online resources for adult learners. As well as these technical skills, you will also be working with partners and course participants, requiring great interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to work with people from different cultures.
We ask that the successful candidate has previous experience of managing small projects, writing reports and problem solving to deliver positive outcomes.
About Us
We’re WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.
Whether they’re taking a new visitor under their wing, or conducting ground-breaking research further afield, our team are second to none. And there’s nothing we love more than watching them soar.
Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?
Why you’ll love working at WWT:
Wake up every day knowing your work is helping to restore wetlands, and our world
Be surrounded and inspired by our team of passionate, dedicated people
33 days annual leave (which goes up to 38 days after 5 years of service) – this includes bank holidays and you have flexibility to take those days whenever you want
Free entry to all our wetland centres, including your family
Free car parking and secure bike storage areas
Colleague discount on shopping and memberships
Cycle to work scheme
Contributory pension scheme
Life Assurance of three times your salary, for peace of mind for your loved ones
Independent personal, workplace and financial advice from Care first
WWT is an equal opportunities employer and all applications will be considered solely on merit.
