This is an excellent role for anyone experienced in HR policy and procedures looking to use their skills to help support the conservation movement.

Any costs that you may incur in the course of your volunteering will be able to be reimbursed subject to prior approval.

3. Has great knowledge of HR policy, experience writing and implementing HR policy.
4. Enjoys working as part of a small team with a mix of self-directed and team-based work.
