Position type: Full time contract until end of May 2026, with the possibility of extension.

Wales Environment Link (WEL) is a dynamic network of diverse environmental non-governmental
organisations (NGOs).

As an umbrella body, WEL promotes and represents the shared interests of its member
organisations, which include some of the most dynamic, innovative and practical NGOs in Wales.
WEL’s role is to support the many exciting and varied environmental organisations working in
Wales to help them achieve their collective aims. WEL does this by facilitating collaborative
working amongst its members and with like-minded partner organisations; and by presenting their
joint positions on issues to the Welsh Government and key decision makers in Wales.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with an ability to coordinate and motivate groups
to work collaboratively on environmental policy. We are looking for someone with good people
skills, able to understand different points of view and work fairly and objectively towards
solutions.

The post holder will work closely with WEL’s Biodiversity and Marine Working Groups to develop
WEL policy positions and consultation responses. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the
charitable and public sectors in Wales and be responsible for organising events and
opportunities to advocate agreed WEL policy positions to decision makers in Wales.

As one of the main points of contact for our Working Group Chairs, group members, politicians
and Welsh Government officials, you will be able to demonstrate your ability to work
collaboratively with a range of different people and be well-organised with a demonstrable
enthusiasm for the work of environmental organisations.
