Purpose

The RSPB is passionate about nature, dedicated to saving it. Since we started on our mission in 1889, the threats to nature have continued to grow, but we've grown to meet them too.

We’re now the largest nature conservation charity in the country, consistently delivering successful conservation, forging powerful new partnerships with other organisations and inspiring others to stand up and give nature the home it deserves.

About us

The RSPB uses its expertise in birds and nature to provide evidence-based solutions to the nature and climate emergency, helping people live well in harmony with nature.

We believe that all species have a right to exist and that nature is fundamental to human health and wellbeing. We work with our partners to keep common species common, recover threatened species, protect and restore special places and inspire and enable everyone to act for nature.

At the RSPB, we believe it is our moral duty to pass on the natural world in a better state to future generations, so we want to create a world where

  • wildlife is abundant and diverse in our towns and countryside
  • we have a resilient, sustainable economy that values nature
  • all people are living well in harmony with nature
  • birds and other wildlife have made a comeback
  • nature continues to be restored, enriching and sustaining the lives of people
  • we benefit from a stable climate, and clean air and water

Flexible working approach

RSPB supports its workforce to work flexibly at the time and in the location that enables them to give of their best and meet the needs of the business.

Through our employee policies, network of shared workplaces and our support for homeworking, we provide a consistent and inclusive experience that reflects our brand and values and contributes to RSPB being an employer of choice.

I feel the RSPB is very flexible and this is reflected through the Line Management chain - I know I have the flexibility on a daily basis to start early / finish late, if something crops up at home - I am very satisfied :)
