SAS SEASONAL PROJECT OFFICER ROLES 2018

BACKGROUND

Surfers Against Sewage - Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is a national marine conservation and campaigning charity that inspires, unites and empowers communities to take action to protect oceans, beaches, waves and wildlife.

The impact and reach of our projects is expanding on an almost daily basis, which is of course fantastic! Nowhere is this more true than within our community projects and campaigns department, with the ongoing success of our Plastic Free Coastlines, Beach Clean and Plastic Free Schools programmes showing no signs of slowing.

As a result we have created three Seasonal Project (SP) roles that will run consecutively throughout 2018 in three blocks of 3 – 4 months (SP 1, 2 and 3). We’re extremely excited at the prospect of welcoming new members to our team and look forward to hearing from potential applicants.

Before submitting your application please carefully read the description of each Seasonal Project. Each project varies slightly from the other (for example during the summer we’ll be looking for people with events and design skills), so make sure you ‘fit the bill’!
