Development Officer

The Green Action Trust is Scotland’s leading environmental regeneration charity and a trusted
delivery partner for the Scottish Government and a wide range of stakeholders including local
authorities, regional partnerships, landowners, environmental groups, and local communities.

We are passionate about delivering positive environmental and social change in Scotland and are
seeking a Development Officer with a similar passion to help us deliver and grow our
activities.

Our Development Officers lead on the development and implementation of projects and programmes
relating to: climate change and adaptation; green infrastructure; biodiversity; net zero; and
the green recovery.

This role is one that suits individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including but not
exclusively, the earth sciences, planning and landscape. It is equally important to have a
desire to work with others to bring about positive environmental change. In addition to
relevant experience and qualifications, we are seeking applicants with:

• Excellent communication skills, including working collaboratively to achieve shared goals.
• A positive, solution orientated and flexible attitude to their work.
• An excellent understanding of the policy background that drives actions to address the
  climate and biodiversity crises.
• A track record of successful project management.

Please see our Development Officer Recruitment Pack for more details.

work life balance through flexible and hybrid working, training, a range of staff activities,
and a strong employee benefits package.

This is a permanent, full-time position, based from our office in Stepps, North Lanarkshire
(with home working). Flexible working would be considered. As travel within Scotland will be
required, a clean driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
