We especially want to hear from you if you feel that you have lived experience of power structures preventing you from accessing opportunities like this. Read our full Equity, Justice and Anti-oppression statement. We have an opt-in guaranteed interview scheme for candidates who declare a disability and/or are a person of colour and meet the essential criteria of the role profile. We are always happy to speak to candidates informally about the role before applying and encourage you to do so. ABOUT US Feedback is a campaign group working for food that is good for people and planet. We want a world where: • All people have secure access to delicious, culturally appropriate food that is nutritious and does not cause environmental harm • Global supply chains, farming and fishing contribute to food sovereignty, good livelihoods, mitigate climate change and enable nature to thrive • Communities have agency to create food economies that are inclusive, equitable, resilient and celebratory To meet these objectives, we carry out the following activities: • We delegitimize corporations • We ideate and advocate for policy change and regulation • We nurture community agency • We widen our circle of allies • We change culture and public discourse Read our current strategic framework. ABOUT THE ROLE This is an exciting opportunity to develop Feedback s pioneering research and campaigning on the shift from destructive diets to food environments which support health, climate, nature and justice. Your brief will be to manage our ongoing campaigning for changes to food environments, through public policy and corporate practice, particularly by retailers and regulators, to achieve climate- and nature-safe consumption patterns. This is an exciting new phase in this campaign, where we are exploring new tactics including legal avenues and investor-focused campaigning.

Our ground-breaking campaigning on aquaculture has highlighted the harms caused by the rapid expansion of fish farming and high levels of consumption of intensively farmed salmon, which include deleterious effects on wild fish populations, food security and global justice through unsustainable sourcing of feed. At the same time, Feedback teams in Liverpool, Brighton, Buckinghamshire and The Hague are exploring community food priorities, responding to urgent need and piloting new types of food economy. This breadth of work, from the grassroots to the grasstips, is what makes Feedback unique.

Everyone at Feedback is engaged in our journey towards fully embodying our principles of equity, justice and anti-oppression (see our statement here), and as a Campaign Manager you will bring a sharp awareness of embedded current and historic injustice in the food system. Experience working at a European level, and with a wide network of partners, would be an asset. In return, we will offer you significant development and learning opportunities including a personal training and wellbeing budget, the chance to work in a supportive and flexible team, and to build a career in environmental and food systems research, campaigning, policy, and advocacy.

Land Manager (Land Service Advice Manager)Newark, Homeworking and/or Hybrid Up to £35,000 per annum Full Time, 35 Hours Per Week Permanent Closing Date for Applications: 12 January 2023 1st interview: 27 January 2023 2nd interview: 1 February 2023 Are you looking for a new challenge and the chance to work for one of the UK's best-loved nature charities? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are looking for someone to help bring about the recovery of nature; someone who has a deep understanding of the way our land is managed and is passionate about wildlife; is a great organiser and project manager; and is a confident and personable communicator to take people with you. We need you to develop a new service for the Wildlife Trusts - a coordinated land management advice service that links together hundreds of land advisors across England and Wales into a coherent force for nature's recovery. Who are we The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who share a set of common beliefs. It has more than of 900,000 members, including 200,000 junior members, 38,000 volunteers and 2,800 staff across 46 locally independent Wildlife Trusts and the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT). We work in every part of the UK and also on Alderney and the Isle of Man. The movement's central charity RSWT leads the development of the movement and represents the interests of the movement whenever a strong united voice is required. Together, the 46 Trusts and the central charity are known as The Wildlife Trusts. About this role The Wildlife Trusts work to a collective framework - Strategy 2030. At its heart is an ambition to see nature recover. This requires a farming system that works in harmony with wildlife. Land management advice is essential to achieve regenerative farming. Yet farming and land management is complex - buffeted by a bewildering set of agri-environment support, regulations and policies that all must be set in the context of operating successful long-term businesses. Getting advice is critical and Wildlife Trusts have long been giving advice to land managers though our network of land management advisors and environmental consultancies. We run those services locally - bespoke and relevant to each local area. That makes sense as we can build strong relationships with land managers and are part of their community. But we also need to extend and deepen that advice to reflect both an agricultural sector that is having to rapidly transition because of the UK leaving the EU, as well as the urgency of the nature and climate crises. Coordinating those services allows us to scale up and improve our advice services. This post lies at the heart of that endeavour. About you You need to be highly organised and an adept project manager; able to both lead and serve the Wildlife Trust land management advice service community spread right across England and Wales. You will understand land management, especially farming, and will have knowledge and understanding of the opportunities available from agri-environment grants from Government to new green finance investments. You will be very comfortable using IT for reporting, for business plan development, and to communicate across a dispersed network for knowledge sharing. Above all, you'll have boundless enthusiasm and passion for nature's recovery. The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgemental and are inclusive. We want our people to be as diverse as nature, so we particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible. This role maybe subject to a DBS check
