Full time fixed term contract to end 2014
Ref: 1623

WWF believes in a future where people and nature thrive. Best known as the world’s leading conservation body, we’re also committed to safeguarding the natural world through tackling the global threat of climate change. And by helping people to change the way they live, to ease pressure on natural resources.

We have recently received funding to lead a project under the EC LIFE+ Programme, focusing on reducing the environmental impacts of European Food Consumption (specifically GHG emissions), building on our Livewell programme in the UK which illustrated that many of the principles of a healthy diet are consistent with the dietary changes needed to reduce GHGE to tackle climate change. In collaboration with partners in Europe, the project will demonstrate sustainable diets in member states (specifically Spain, France and Sweden) and demonstrate tangible policy pathways for implementation disseminating results across the EU.

We are looking for an exceptional individual who will be responsible for delivering the project Communications strategy. You will be highly organised and an outstanding communicator and must also have a strong track record of working with a diverse, complex range of stakeholders. You will have relevant experience/qualifications in communications and/or marketing.
