Environment Agency – Influence That Lasts

At the Environment Agency, we’re more than a regulator - we’re a purpose-driven organisation tackling the environmental challenges that matter most. From protecting communities against flooding to improving air and water quality, our work shapes a better future for people and planet.

Joining us means making an impact from day one. You’ll have the freedom to apply your skills where they count, whether that’s frontline operations, scientific analysis, policy development, or project delivery. Our mission is clear: to enable sustainable change, and we need passionate, curious minds to help us achieve it.

We offer more than a job - we offer a career built on flexibility, growth, and belonging. You’ll enjoy generous benefits, including an ethical pension invested in renewable energy, 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, and flexible working options that support life and work in balance.

From office buddies and peer networks to experienced mentors, you’ll have the support you need to thrive. And because your development matters, we’ll work with you to create a personalised training plan that aligns with your goals and the needs of the business - while encouraging you to drive your own journey.

This isn’t about profit. It’s about purpose. It’s about joining a people-led culture where your ideas influence decisions and your work creates lasting impact. Ready to shape the future? Your career starts here.
