Background
The Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland (APRS) is the charity which promotes the care of all of Scotland’s rural landscapes. APRS is a registered charity, No SC016139. Further information about the work of APRS is at aprs.scot. Our Have You Got The Bottle? campaign successfully secured the introduction of a deposit return system (DRS) for drinks containers in Scotland. However, active campaigning is still required to ensure that DRS starts on time in August 2023, so we are recruiting a Campaign Manager to run the campaign during its final 18 months.
Role
The Campaign Manager leads all aspects of the Have You Got The Bottle? campaign. Key responsibilities include political advocacy, partner engagement, communications and events. Applicants should have experience of campaigning, environmental policy, partnership working and communications and should demonstrate high levels of initiative, motivation and enthusiasm.

We also have big plans - our current play area has become too small for all the kids who want to play – we have ambitions to take over a large plot of Vacant land next to our current site, and to work with the Children and our community to develop this into a purpose-built adventure playground and outdoor play and learning hub
