Opportunity to join the Regional Flood & Coastal Committee
Regional Flood & Coastal Committees (RFCCs) are independent bodies that play a vital role in reducing the risk of flooding and coastal erosion. They:
- represent the views of local communities in how we manage flooding and coastal erosion
- help make communities more resilient and able to adapt to the challenges of a changing climate
- approve the programmes of work that better protect the homes and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people
- help create the local partnerships that pay for, build and manage the projects in our programmes
You can hear more about how important these roles are in this short video by Josie Bateman from the Environment Agency.
The North West RFCC has one role to recruit to and we are welcoming applications from people from all backgrounds, but it would be helpful if they have particular knowledge or experience in one of the following areas:
- Sustainable green growth
- Infrastructure
- Growth and planning (including housing)
- Economics
- Farming and land management
You can find out more about RFCCs and how to apply on the Environment Agencies website below. When filling out the online application form, select which role you are applying for, explain why you are interested in becoming an independent RFCC member, what you would bring to the role, and outline your relevant skills and experience.
