    Making it count

    • Support policy and advocacy work by contributing technical expertise and shaping briefings and consultations.
    • Create accessible content showcasing innovative, low impact aquaculture practices.
    • Build positive relationships across government, industry, NGOs and other partners to champion responsible aquaculture.
    • Contribute to internal policy work, funding proposals and wider marine planning efforts to reduce cumulative aquaculture impacts.

     

    Why join us?

    • You’ll be part of a passionate, friendly and forward-thinking team, hoping to shape the future of sustainable seafood.
    • You’ll be able to influence real change through advocacy and policy works that promotes responsible aquaculture and protects marine ecosystems.
    • You’ll collaborate with experts and innovators across various channels to drive positive solutions.
    • We’re flexible, inclusive and committed to learning and growing together.
    • We believe in evidence, action and people-powered change.

    • 8% 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 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
