Would you like a planning job that makes a real and tangible difference for nature, and which
offers the opportunity to work, and perhaps live, in the world’s best city?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our Edinburgh based planning
team, which forms part of a wider policy and advocacy function, the purpose of which is to
influence and shape nature and climate policy, in this case through the planning process but
also marine policy development processes, in Scotland and the UK. RSPB is probably the most
active ENGO in this sphere of work – we are at the forefront of marine conservation, being
involved in marine spatial planning, offshore wind development, fisheries management, blue
carbon and protected areas, focussing on the need to halt biodiversity decline, restore our
marine environment and deliver upon our climate aspirations.
Working closely with colleagues across RSPB Scotland, and RSPB UK, you will take the lead in
scrutinising and responding to the most significant marine development proposals in Scottish
waters, as well as working closely with colleagues dealing with terrestrial developments, and
shaping RSPB Scotland’s approach to Biodiversity Enhancement. You’ll also work closely with
colleagues dedicated to shaping marine conservation policy in Scotland and the UK, feeding in,
for example, to statutory marine planning processes such as the production of Scotland’s
National Marine Plan 2, and to wider policy development in the areas of mitigation and
‘strategic compensation’.
If you’re looking for a job where you can see the results of your own actions and initiative,
as well as opportunities to shape the future through, for example, working with colleagues to
submit funding bids to further nature conservation objectives, then this is the job for you!
Essential Qualifications, Knowledge and Skills
Amongst other desirable skills, knowledge and experience (see the Role Profile on our website for
more information) you’ll have a good knowledge of planning processes and / or other regulatory
processes and their relevance to site conservation, e.g. Environmental Impact Assessment,
Habitats Regulations Assessment, Strategic Environmental Assessment.
This is a Permanent Full Time role for 37.5 hours per week, although other working patterns
will be considered. Although there will be a need to be present in the RSPB Edinburgh office on
a regular basis (ideally at least once a week), to attend meetings in central Scotland, as well
as to attend occasional meetings elsewhere in the UK, there is potential for the role to be
based remotely.
We are looking to conduct interviews for this position in mid-January 2024. For further
information please contact: [email protected]
As part of this application process you will be asked to provide a copy of your CV and complete
an application form including evidence which shows how you meet the skills, knowledge, and
experience listed above.
If you wish to provide a cover letter with your application, please include this at the end of
your CV document upload.
