This Greenpeace environmental campaigning job is a full-time Actions Coordinator position offering £56,988–£63,756 a year plus benefits. This is an experienced environmental campaigning position, not a graduate scheme. Applications close on 15 November 2026.
The role is based in Islington, London, with hybrid working requiring at least 40% of each week in the office. The employer normally appoints at the bottom of the salary range. Applicants should not interpret hybrid working as permission to work from any country.
Greenpeace environmental campaigning role: responsibilities
The coordinator supports Greenpeace campaigns through nonviolent direct-action planning, logistics, research, responsible risk management, ship operations and activist-network development. The position also involves identifying training needs and collaborating with project teams.
Who should consider applying?
Greenpeace seeks substantial relevant experience, creativity, sound organisation, adaptability, collaboration and communication skills. This is not advertised as an opportunity requiring no experience. Benefits listed include a pension, staff development, subsidised lunches and wellbeing resources.
Seven areas assessed in the application
The employer asks candidates to demonstrate experience and capability across seven areas. These cover an informed understanding of nonviolent direct action; substantial practical involvement in planning and delivering it; creativity; responsible assessment and mitigation of risk; organisation and project management; flexibility; and effective working relationships under pressure.
The requirements emphasise communication, constructive negotiation, maintaining composure and managing competing demands. This is an experienced coordination appointment rather than an introductory route into campaigning. Applicants should read the exact criteria in the official form and applicant pack, rather than treating this summary as a substitute.
Read the requirements before preparing an application
A useful first step is to open the official vacancy and its linked applicant information pack. Compare the requirements with evidence from your own work or relevant voluntary activities. An interest in environmental issues alone is not the same as demonstrating that you can perform an experienced coordination role.
For your own preparation, build a simple evidence table. In one column, put each criterion from the employer’s form. In the next, note a genuine example that demonstrates it. Add your particular contribution and the result. This can help you identify weak or repetitive answers before you begin completing the form.
Avoid exaggerating your responsibilities or presenting a team’s collective achievement as something you delivered alone. Clear, specific examples are generally more useful than unsupported descriptions such as “excellent leader” or “highly experienced”. Keep examples lawful and relevant, and do not include confidential operational information or personal details about other people.
How to apply
Apply through the official website, not by email. The form requests a CV, responses to seven criteria, references and other applicant details. It recommends approximately 350 words or fewer per criterion. A sponsorship question appears, but this does not guarantee sponsorship.
- Read the complete vacancy: follow the official link below, check the closing date again and download the applicant information pack for reference.
- Prepare your evidence: draft your criterion responses separately so you can review them before entering them into the form.
- Tailor your CV: make relevant responsibilities and achievements easy to find, without adding qualifications or experience you do not possess.
- Check the form carefully: complete its required fields, follow the instructions accompanying each question and review your contact information.
- Submit before the deadline: allow time for file-upload or connection problems. Keep any confirmation the recruitment system provides.
These preparation suggestions are general guidance from Opportunities Feed, not additional selection requirements imposed by Greenpeace. The employer’s application instructions take precedence.
Location and immigration considerations
Before spending time on an application, consider whether the stated office attendance would be practical for you. Check questions about work permission carefully and answer them accurately. Neither an application form’s sponsorship question nor an invitation to apply should be treated as a promise of visa support, relocation assistance or acceptance of an overseas working arrangement.
If your circumstances require clarification, use the recruitment contact provided in the official notice for questions. Do not use that contact as a substitute for submitting the required online application.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a fully remote job?
No. The advertised arrangement includes regular attendance at the London office. Applicants should assess the actual attendance requirement rather than assuming “hybrid” means fully remote.
Is the highest salary guaranteed?
No. The published range is not a promise that a successful candidate will receive its upper figure. Check the employer’s starting-pay statement when deciding whether the opportunity meets your needs.
Can an inexperienced applicant treat this as an internship?
No. It is an experienced professional role. If your background does not meet the stated criteria, do not describe yourself as eligible simply because you support the organisation’s mission.
Will Opportunities Feed process applications?
No. Opportunities Feed is an independent publisher, not the employer or recruitment agency. Applications and recruitment questions belong with Greenpeace through the channels stated in its vacancy.
