About the Role
We are seeking a creative and proactive Communications Producer to shape how Radical Ecology’s work is shared with the world. You will be responsible for producing content across multiple platforms — from Instagram posts and email newsletters to posters, flyers and video documentation — helping us reflect the breadth of our work in ways that are clear, compelling, and accessible.
The Communications Producer will work closely with the Head of Research and Community (who will be your line manager) to ensure all content is consistent with Radical Ecology’s values and evolving research. You will also collaborate with artists, researchers, and young people whose voices and perspectives are central to our work. This role is ideal for someone who combines visual and editorial flair with good
organisation, attention to detail, and a belief in the role of communications as a cultural and political practice. We’re open to a range of professional backgrounds, including fundraising, social media, design, publishing, copywriting, journalism, and/or community organising.
About Radical Ecology
Radical Ecology is an artist-led studio in Dartington, South Devon exploring the intersections of racial justice and environmental action through interventions that extend from participatory engagement with young people in the woods where we’re based to rethinking the global model for climate economics with some of the world’s leading climate scientists.
We believe that climate breakdown and racial inequity are inextricably connected and that these twin crises as well as our collective failure to address them are best understood as outcomes of inherited cultures that have been hundreds if not thousands of years in the making. We see culture as the force that brings us together. It’s the space through which we create meaning in the world and choose to do more of the same or else shape new worlds.
The ambition to create something new that is sustainable and just – a house for climate justice, no less – drives all our outputs which are also always forms of participatory action – from the production of films and exhibitions, to the development and delivery of research and policy frameworks, to the engagement of young people and marginalised people with art, music and nature across the landscapes of southwest England which feed so much of what we do. We thrive on the interactions that connect these diverse
planes of our activity. We believe that Radical Ecology is a way of being in the world through which we realise the life of the planet in ourselves, whoever and wherever we are.
