Description

Beachwatch Administrator
Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire (with hybrid working)

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 Beachwatch Administrator to join our team on a permanent, part-time basis, working 14 hours per week, Wednesday - Friday.

The Benefits

Salary of £20,500 £22,000 per annum pro rata
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 fullpay for 8 weeks, then 8 weeks at halfpay (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
Cycletowork scheme to help you buy a bike

This is an incredible opportunity for an enthusiastic individual with excellent project and event management skills to join our committed organisation.

You'll be stepping into an exciting and varied role, co-ordinating events that bring communities together to clean up our coastlines and rivers, contributing to restoring these vital ecosystems and driving forward changes for a healthier planet.

Plus, with our hybrid working options, you'll get to spend your working days either from the comfort of your own home or immersed in the beauty of stunning beach locations
