Description

Fern has an exciting full-time opportunity for an experienced communications professional to help our campaigners devise and deliver strong communications strategies and products. Working from our Brussels office you will help deliver Fern’s long-term strategies, support campaigners to consider how to communicate strategically and improve Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning around our communications products.

Fern was created in 1995 to achieve greater environmental and social justice, focusing on forests and forest peoples’ rights in the policies and practices of the European Union. We believe that to be effective it is essential to understand and address the social dimension of environmental conflicts; that strong coalitions are more likely to achieve lasting change; and that presenting ways forward is often more effective than highlighting problems. We have no director and strive to make decisions by consensus. Details of our current campaign areas can be found here.
