Some of the benefits of working at Action for Conservation include:
OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an
inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of
employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority
and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. If the environmental movement is to succeed in
creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart
of our programmes. We, therefore, encourage people from demographics that are currently
underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.
GUARANTEED INTERVIEW SCHEME
We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living
with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates
from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed
Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.
If you would like further information, support with access requirements, such as an
adjustment to the application or interview process, or an informal chat, please contact us by
