Job description

About us

At Environment Bank, we’re working together to help restore natural habitats across England. With thousands of acres of new habitat creation already underway, our projects are delivering biodiversity gains and helping vital ecosystems to recover and flourish.

Our diverse team includes ecologists, land managers, habitat specialists, geospatial analysts, planning advisors, account managers, digital creatives, legal experts, and more.

From our habitat specialists to our sales and marketing teams, everyone at Environment Bank is a champion for our values, working towards our goal of reversing biodiversity loss.

Environment Bank is a market-leading organisation in a sector that’s experiencing rapid growth. We’ve already built a highly skilled team of experts and we’re actively looking to expand our team in the coming months.

We’re incredibly proud of all we achieved so far and we’re still growing. If you'd like to be part of a driven organisation that's making a real difference, find your next role with the team at Environment Bank.

About the Role

Joining our communications team, this new role will involve writing across a selection of our key channels and platforms to maintain and advance Environment Bank’s leading position within its market.

As Content Writer, your work will help showcase our incredible Habitat Banks and raise our profile as a notable voice in emerging nature markets. You will help to create informed content strategies to write original work as well as optimise existing content that aligns with our key business goals.

This role requires exceptional writing skills, attention to detail, and an advanced understanding of structure, style, tone, and grammar. You’ll need to be able to work independently and handle a number of writing projects simultaneously, adapting to shifting priorities when needed.

You’ll be working within a complex and rapidly evolving industry, so you’ll need to be driven, curious, and confident in your ability to take on new information quickly and communicate it efficiently to a range of audiences.

This is a flexible hybrid role based at our York office. You will be expected to work from the office at least three days a week so you can work closely with your manager and several of the wider marketing team. The culture at our York office is incredibly supportive and inclusive.

We welcome applications from candidates with previous copywriting, journalism, or marketing experience, but we would also consider recent graduates with fantastic writing skills and lots of initiative looking for their first role in communications.

Responsibilities

• Writing content for blogs, case studies, marketing emails, newsletters, social media posts, press releases, statements, digital ad copy, articles, briefing materials
• Gathering information from various sources (incl. digital systems and colleagues)
• Populating and optimising content across our website and digital platforms
• Adhering to (and helping further develop) our brand messaging guidelines
• Proofreading content for other members of the wider marketing team
• Support in the creation and execution of strategic content plans
• Travelling to our Habitat Banks and attending marketing events when required
