Bat Conservation Ireland is an independent, non-profit charity that is Ireland’s leading authority on bats. We conduct monitoring and research to increase knowledge of all Irish bat species, and work to secure and expand existing bat populations, and where feasible to extend their ranges. We aim to develop a genuine and widespread understanding and appreciation of bats amongst the public, state agencies, and other organisations, and to secure consistent protection of all bat species and the ecological infrastructure necessary to support them.

The Role
Bat Conservation Ireland is looking for a suitable person with communications and marketing expertise to join the governing Council. This is a voluntary position, and the appropriate person would be involved in reviewing the current Communications Strategy of the organisation, as well as the development of a strategy for the next number of years. The appointee will convene a communications and marketing sub-committee to develop this strategy, as well as oversee its implementation across the organisation and evaluate its impact.
As the organisation does not have a physical office, the appointee would need to be comfortable liaising effectively with Council members, staff, and external contractors across a digital landscape.
A background in communications and marketing would be ideal, as well as working effectively to further develop Bat Conservation Ireland’s brand and bring its message to a wider audience, particularly in relation to how this can be delivered by a small organisation.
On average, it would be anticipated that the appointee would be required to give approximately 4 hours per month, including preparing for and attending Council Meetings (approx. 6 per year, remotely, as well as the AGM, in-person), and Sub-Committee Meetings (4 per year, remotely), although additional time may be needed at key times during the year.
