Keep Britain Tidy is an iconic and dynamic charity, providing first-class solutions to
environmental challenges. For more than 60 years as the country’s anti-litter charity, we work
tirelessly to combat waste and neglect so that everyone can love where they live. Using our
world-class research and working with partners, we develop game-changing programmes that fly
the flag for clean, accessible and attractive beaches, rivers, parks and green spaces. The work
of Keep Britain Tidy has never been more informed, important and urgent as it is today.

We are looking for a passionate and outstanding programme manager to join our RiverCare &

small team, a self-starter able to work to deadlines without supervision. You will be working
as part of a regional and national team. Some travel within the region will be required, as
will occasional weekend and evening work.

At a time when we are living in a world that is facing its greatest environmental challenges,
