Who we are

Keep Scotland Beautiful is your charity inspiring action for our environment.

Our vision is for a clean, green, sustainable Scotland. We are a practical organisation working
with communities, schools, businesses, local and national government, public bodies and
individuals to help combat climate change, tackle litter and waste, restore nature and
biodiversity and improve the places we care for.

We support the ambitions of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We offer a fantastic benefits package in return for your talent. These include but are not
limited to a generous pension scheme; hybrid working; development opportunities; a 35-hour work
week along with an annual free volunteer day to take your skills or interests to support
others. We operate a hybrid working policy, which allows a balance between home/remote working
and coming to our wonderful, new office Hub in Stirling.

offer direct support to schools across the northern areas of the Highland Council, Western
Isles and the surrounding area, by delivering in-person Eco-Schools and climate education
training and workshops. The Education and Learning Officer will also support learning
establishments to engage where appropriate with wider Keep Scotland Beautiful projects.
