Project Officer – Wetland Learning Hub

Do you enjoy working in a global context to deliver practical benefits for wetlands and people?

We have an exciting opportunity within our International CEPA (Communication, Capacity Building, Education, Participation and Awareness) Team to deliver world-class learning tools to support wetland conservation across the globe. With wetlands still disappearing and degrading at pace, we urgently need to work with partners to build capacity of partners at wetlands locally, nationally and across flyways. Your role will be to support the next phase of our wetland learning hub (WLH), creating a suite of learning opportunities in our key international regions.

The WLH has successfully completed its pilot and has been awarded funding to develop the approach across our three key regions: West Africa; Madagascar; and Indo-Burma. You will support the development of the new virtual learning environment, creation of learning tools such as online lectures, webinars and workshops, and developing an online resource platform. 

Our CEPA team is recognised as world-leading, supporting global environmental agreements, regional initiatives, governments and local partners. We promote the effective communication of the importance of wetlands to the widest range of audiences, encouraging them to take action. Your skills will help us to grow, resulting in the creation of champions for wetlands across the globe.

We are looking for someone with experience of delivering environmental education online resources for adult learners. As well as these technical skills, you will also be working with partners and course participants, requiring great interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to work with people from different cultures.

We ask that the successful candidate has previous experience of  managing small projects, writing reports and problem solving to deliver positive outcomes.
