Working for Greenpeace

Greenpeace UK employs around 90 staff in its London office. The office is made up of departments that deal with campaigns; media; policy and solutions; supporter development; active supporters, information systems; human resources; finance; facilities; and actions.

Our staff work in a range of roles: campaigners, political advisors, press officers, web editors, events co-ordinators, night security officers, direct marketing fundraisers, supporter services information officers, workshop managers and many more. Qualifications for these jobs are required only where relevant to a particular post. University degrees, therefore, aren't necessary for most jobs. However, we do always ask for relevant knowledge and experience. Unfortunately we don't hold any graduate or trainee positions.

As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sections of the community. All applicants are required to complete an application form and selection is made on the basis of pre-defined person specifications. We do not accept CVs and unfortunately cannot hold details of individuals on file.
