THE RSPB is the latest organisation intent on beefing up its approach to equality, anti-racism and diversity issues.
It is offering a salary of up to the equivalent of £39,267 per annum for a part-time 'Senior Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Specialist'.
The charity says the role will be "to support staff and volunteers by providing advice and guidance, and to develop new ways of working to support senior leadership to embed Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) practices."
What has this got to do with protecting birds?
Responds a spokesperson: "To tackle the nature and climate emergency, we need to enable more people - and people of greater diversity - to act for nature.
"At present, conservation is one of the least diverse sectors in the UK, but we are committed not only to improving our workplace and its culture, but also driving forward EDI including work specifically on anti-racism.
"It is our responsibility towards a sustainable future for people and nature together.
"People of colour and disabled people are currently under-represented across the environment, climate, sustainability, and conservation sector.
"We are particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who identify as a person of colour and/or disabled.
"We are willing to discuss any additional support such individuals may need to complete their applications."
The initial contract is three days a week for one year, and the successful candidate can be home-based or work at one of the RSPB's regional offices in Birmingham, London, Brighton, Newcastle, Lancaster, Exeter, Norwich or Sandy
This role requires occasional travel, but it is not essential to be able to drive.
The closing date for applications is April 14, and more details are available by contacting edi@rspb.org.uk
