We are seeking a well organised, committed and proactive person, who is interested in people, to join our small and supportive team. If you enjoy variety, but are always aware of making sure things get done, and want to make a real difference in a small environmental charity, we would love to hear from you.

This role leads on the administrative and office functions of APRS, Scotland’s countryside charity, which employs three people. As a small charity, making a big impact, this role will allow you to grow and take on responsibility. Our small size means that we can be fleet of foot and take opportunities so there is always variety and challenge. But, above all, this role needs a steady hand and an eye for detail, ensuring that we deliver our reporting, governance and finance requirements, and manage our relationship with supporters, so that we can effectively deliver on our mission.

We are seeking a person who enjoys being part of a team but can also work independently, and with a focus on what matters for the smooth running of the organisation.

It’s our centenary next year and so this is a really exciting time to be joining APRS. We have ambitions for the future, and this post plays an absolutely central role. So if you are looking for rewarding work, with good colleagues, in an environmental charity; and you want to make a difference to Scotland’s landscapes and countryside – please get in touch.
