About our Organisation
The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.
We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn't do any of this without our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world where it’s needed the most.
About the Opportunity
The Soil Association’s standards put organic principles into practice and are a core component of delivering positive impact in the world. The Standards Innovation Team is responsible for keeping the SA’s standards world-leading – ensuring they’re up to date, innovative and driving continuous improvement in agriculture and beyond. This role involves taking responsibility for the successful development of key areas of the SA’s standards.
Combining project management, research, stakeholder consultation and close liaison with departments across the organisation and beyond, it’s a dynamic and varied role that requires both the ability to see the bigger picture as well as a close attention to detail.
About You
You’ll be solutions-focussed, with excellent project management and communication skills as well as a keen eye for detail. With a good understanding of standards or regulations, you’ll enjoy the challenge of translating the small details into the bigger picture to demonstrate real impact on food and farming. You’ll enjoy research, with the ability to quickly assimilate information and develop clear recommendations with sound rationale. With a flexible, creative and diligent approach to your work, you’ll enjoy a fast paced, friendly team environment and be brilliant at quickly building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

27 days annual holiday increasing to 30 days with length of service plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time)
Pension scheme with ethical investment options and employer contribution increasing with length of service
