About us

The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) (NTAV) is an independent, non-profit organisation supported by a large community base. We are Victoria's premier heritage and conservation organisation and the major operator of heritage places open to the public across Victoria.

About the role

The Environmental Advocate plays a key role in our work celebrating and protecting Victoria's natural heritage. Reporting to the Executive Manager - Gardens and Landscapes and working closely with our Advocacy team, you will be responsible for responding to public enquiries, making submissions to government, committees, media, and planning bodies. You will also play a key role in our public advocacy and communications work, including administering our expert Significant Tree Committee and coordinating the annual Victorian Tree of the Year campaign. You will also provide advice and support to the management of the National Trusts' own environmentally significant places.

About you

We are seeking a motivated and well organised person with a passion for nature and a desire to make a difference. You may have a background in ecology, land management, horticulture, or arboriculture, have had a similar public advocacy role or have a working knowledge of the planning system. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, efficient and effective administration skills and be able to work both independently and as part of a team. This role requires the ability to create and maintain positive stakeholder relationships and demonstrated experience in end-to-end project management.
