Job Description & How to Apply Below
RFCCs are independent bodies that play a vital role in reducing the risk of flooding and coastal erosion. They:
represent the views of local communities in how we manage flooding and coastal erosion
help make communities more resilient and able to adapt to the challenges of a changing climate
approve the programmes of work that better protect the homes and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people
help create the local partnerships that pay for, build and manage the projects in our programmes
You can hear more about how important these roles are in this short video by Josie Bateman from the Environment Agency.
We will be running a drop-in session on 13 November at 2pm where we will talk about the roles in more detail and take questions from potential applicants. If you are interested in these roles and wish to join, you can sign up here.
If you can’t make the session, a recording will be made available.
The independent member roles
We’re looking for new independent members to join our RFCCs around the country. These are voluntary, unpaid roles, but as an independent member you’ll have an amazing opportunity to:
get involved with issues that really matter in your area
gain new skills, experience and build your network
make a real difference to people’s lives, livelihoods and to the environment we all live in
It’s vital that RFCC members represent the true diversity of the communities we work with. We know that a diverse workforce increases productivity, innovation, and employee satisfaction.
We cover reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. You’ll be expected to attend regular RFCC meetings and prepare by reading papers in advance. The overall commitment is typically around 12 days per year. This may vary between RFCCs and depends on any additional responsibilities you undertake such as attending workshops, site visits, sub-groups and other committee meetings.
You’ll receive a full induction and the chance to visit flood schemes in your region.
You should ideally live or work in the RFCC area you are applying for.
Please note that current employees of the Environment Agency are not eligible to apply.
