RSPB keen to step up fight against racism with appointment of £35,000-per-annum 'race equity' officer

                               

RSPB's HQ in Bedfordshire - the society is eager to encourage 'more ethnic diverse people to act for nature'

A SALARY of up to £35,259 per annum is on offer for a candidate who applies successfully to join the RSPB's anti-racism taskforce.

The closing date for applications is midnight next Friday September 26.

In these changing times,  the RSPB is not just about protecting birds, it is also about social engineering - in other words, encouraging  more non-white people to become involved with nature.

Says a spokesperson for the society: "This is a key role working alongside our senior programme manager and senior race equity specialist to shape our ways of working to enable more and more ethnic diverse people to act for nature."

The post is for 10 months only, with interviews being held from October 15.
