This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join the RSPB NI team, saving nature and inspiring people in one of the most beautiful, wildlife-rich landscapes in the UK, as a Communications Officer.

Our vision is to help people to understand, support and engage with the work of RSPB NI. This role is vital to this task. We are looking for an excellent and enthusiastic communicator, who can tell great stories and produce engaging content that showcases Northern Ireland’s wildlife and habitats. We want someone who can bring our vital conservation work to life.

As Communications Officer, you will develop and deliver creative and effective communications campaigns in line with our communications and marketing strategy. You will have a ‘nose for a story’ and have responsibility for sourcing, sharing and selling‑in stories to grow support for our work. The role is exciting and varied. It includes media relations, social media, stakeholder engagement, digital and destination & events marketing.

As Communications Officer, you will report to the NI Country Communications Manager and form part of a four person comms and marketing team. We need a dynamic, highly organised team player who is bursting with ideas and has exceptional copy‑writing skills and good attention to detail.

The role requires a friendly and collaborative approach, that combines an ability to adapt to changing priorities, while sometimes working under your own initiative to achieve results.

This role requires travel and the successful applicant will be required to travel to remote locations without the use of public transport.

Please note this role involves occasional early/late finishes and weekend work by prior arrangement, for which time off in lieu is applicable.

This role is based at our Northern Ireland Headquarters in Belfast although home working is also available.
