    Description

    Parliamentary Affairs Officer

    Cardiff, Wales (with hybrid working options and travel to meetings and events in Cardiff and London, with occasional overnight stays)

    The Organisation

    We are the Marine Conservation Society, a UK charity fighting for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.

    Right now, our ocean is at a tipping point. We're polluting our waters and destroying precious habitats. We're harming the species that live there. This is reducing the ocean's ability to help fight the climate crisis. While a third of UK seas are protected on paper, less than 1% are well managed. We are determined to change this. Using people-powered action and with science on our side, we defend habitats and species, working with communities, businesses and governments to encourage ocean-based climate action solutions across the UK.

    We are now looking for a Parliamentary Affairs Officer to join our Parliamentary Affairs Team on a full-time, permanent basis, working 35 hours per week.

    The Benefits

    • Salary of up to £28,000 per annum
    • Annual leave starting at 25 days per year, plus Bank Holidays pro rata (we also close between Christmas and New Year as extra time off)
    • 6% employer contributions to our stakeholder pension scheme
    • Sick pay at full-pay for 8 weeks, then 8 weeks at half-pay (after probation ends)
    • Great work life balance through flexible and in many cases, remote working
    • Support for your health and wellbeing with a programme of activities plus an employee assistance programme for you and the people who live with you
    • A paid day for you to volunteer to support another charity of your choice
    • Cycle-to-work scheme to help you buy a bike

    This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced public affairs and government relations professional with excellent relationship building skills to join a team which is passionate about marine conservation and making a real difference in the world.

    You'll have the chance to use your skills to shape policies and drive meaningful change for our environment. What's more, you'll be rewarded with an array of exceptional benefits, from hybrid and flexible working and generous annual leave to a plethora of wellbeing support
