Space for Nature Community Officer at The Greening Campaign

Nature is declining across Hampshire, but local communities can play a powerful role in helping wildlife recover and thrive. 

As our new Space for Nature Communities Officer, you’ll support 20+ Greening Communities across Hampshire to take practical action for nature through the Greening Campaign’s tried-and-tested Space for Nature programme.

You’ll help communities understand, map and improve the habitats they already have, and support them to create new spaces for nature. You’ll also support communities to bring households on board, creating networks of wildlife-friendly gardens that provide food and shelter for wildlife across the whole community. 

Working alongside our Greening Campaign community groups, you’ll help them identify opportunities, overcome barriers, organise activities and turn ideas into action. You’ll bring your own nature expertise where it’s useful, while supporting each community to develop and deliver a plan that works for their local area. Just as importantly, you’ll help them recognise and celebrate what they achieve. 

This is a community-facing role. You’ll attend meetings and events across Hampshire, build relationships with a wide range of people, and make sure different voices and perspectives are included. We’re looking for someone with a genuine passion for nature and the environment, who also understands how to engage and work alongside communities to make change happen.
