Parliamentary Officer

Are you a talented individual looking to begin your career in a progressive
conservation organisation? The reason the John Muir Trust exists – to conserve, protect and
repair wild places for the benefit of everyone – has never been more important.

The John Muir Trust is recruiting a Parliamentary Officer on a one year fixed term to help deliver our
parliamentary engagement work in Scotland and across the UK. This is a unique entry-level
opportunity to join the Trust’s Policy team as it looks to develop its resources and expand its
political influence. The team will invest in your professional growth and equip you with the
skills and knowledge required to lead on parliamentary work.

In this role you will manage relationships with MSPs, their offices and political party
researchers; monitor and report on parliamentary business; execute parliamentary engagement
work; target communications and resources for influence; and communicate Trust
positions.

When applying you should demonstrate your experience in establishing effective
relationships and delivering impact. If you can demonstrate a strong interest in parliamentary
or public affairs and have experience advocating for change, then consider joining our
team. We look forward to hearing from you.

The John Muir Trust is committed to working together to promote a more inclusive
environment and we need a diverse team to realise this. Applicants are welcome from all walks
of life with diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences to support our work
on behalf of wild places.
