Job Opportunities with BirdLife International
Communications Officer (Media relations and web)

Salary indication: £22,500 (+12 % pension)

Closing date: 13 November 2007
The BirdLife International Secretariat (Cambridge, UK) is looking to appoint a new Communications Officer. The position will be part of the organisation’s Communication team.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the editing and maintenance of the BirdLife web site (www.birdlife.org), which has become a major news outlet in its own right for bird conservation news. This is not a particularly technical role, as a Content Management System is used to update the site - although good computer literacy would be a advantage.

The successful candidate will also be responsible with other staff on the promotion of BirdLife International through the media. This will include writing press releases and features, fielding enquiries from journalists, and liaising with other BirdLife staff to ensure a good flow of information around the organisation. Good written and editorial skills are essential.

How to apply: To apply send a CV and covering letter (preferably by email) to recruitment@birdlife.org or by fax: +44(0) 1223-277200
