Sustainability Manager - Shrewsbury / Homeworking

The Vacancy

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Field Studies Council (FSC), one of the UK’s leading providers of outdoor environmental education. FSC is a pioneering environmental education charity committed to enabling people discover, explore, understand, and be inspired by the world around us. 

Established in 1943, our network of Learning Locations provide day and residential courses for all ages, from young children to retired adults, from schools and communities throughout the UK, reaching many others through our publications and community-based programmes. 

Working as part of the Head Office Team, the main focus for this role will be to promote and embed the values of sustainability across the FSC.  National travel will be a significant part of the role. When not travelling to FSC Centres, the working base could be FSC Head Office, another FSC Centre, or the post-holder’s home. 

The post holder will require a degree in either ecology, land or building management, sustainable management, or closely allied discipline; experience of delivering carbon management programmes, training delivery and evaluation, and project management; and knowledge of carbon management, nature recovery or sustainability issues. Key to this appointment will be a flexible approach and willingness to travel and work across the UK at our rural and often breath-taking locations. 

Come and be part of the team! We look forward to your application.
