The Wilderness Society is working for a future that does not rely on continued destruction of nature and our climate, but rather flourishes because of our responsible stewardship of these core life support systems. We value organisational independence and integrity.
Be part of a team that’s secured some of the biggest wins for Australian wilderness and nature: stopping the damming of the Franklin River nearly 50 years ago, keeping big oil out of the Great Australian Bight, or defending special forests the length and breadth of this continent.
As the Senior Community Organiser, you will engage volunteers and advance community organising both locally in Naarm/Melbourne and across the continent. You'll be integral in developing and implementing strategies to build community power and engagement, with a focus on supporting the organisation's Organisational Campaign Plan (OCP), particularly concerning Eastern Victoria’s Tall Forests.
Responsibilities include volunteer recruitment and retention, building community leaders' capacities, and mobilising support for the Wilderness Society's objectives. You'll lead in applying community organising principles within the team and organisation, ensuring alignment with organisational policies and strategies, and collaborating across departments to strengthen movement-building efforts.
Our approach to diversity is about embracing everyone. From building a culture where all employees can bring their best selves to work to deploying initiatives that support the different needs of our staff, we are proud to be part of building an inclusive world for all.
We are a supportive and inclusive workplace with excellent conditions, including:
We’d love to have you if you:
