Are you looking to join an experienced team who understand the challenges faced by local authorities in the provision of good quality recycling and effective waste prevention programmes? WRAP’s (Waste & Resources Action Programme) Local Authority Support Programme provides local authorities with best practice local communications advice and support with the aim of encouraging residents to recycle more and waste less.

The successful applicants will provide expert advice to local authorities, recommend and manage accompanying grant support and manage a wide portfolio of projects.

They will need to demonstrate proven communications/marketing experience and have managed a broad range of projects, preferably in the public sector/within a local authority. It is also expected that they will have a sound knowledge and experience of waste prevention and recycling issues.

The Banbury based adviser role will provide support to English authorities and is funded through WRAP’s Local Authority Support Programme. The adviser role based in London will work with London Boroughs only and projects will be funded through WRAP’s Local Authority Support Programme and/or the London Waste and Recycling Board’s (LWaRB) ‘Recycle For London’ Programme which is a partnership with the Greater London Authority (GLA).

WRAP welcomes applications from all suitably qualified applicants, regardless of religion, age, gender, disability or race.

We offer a contributory pension scheme, free life assurance, private healthcare, 25 days holiday per annum, a free employee assistance programme and a discretionary annual performance related payment.
