Charity Jobs NI (part of the Happy Jobs group) is delighted to be exclusively partnering with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful (KNIB) to recruit a proactive, hands-on Digital Hub (myEARTH) Project Manager.

About Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful

KNIB is a forward-thinking charity driving practical environmental improvement, behaviour change and sustainability across Northern Ireland. The team works with communities, schools, businesses and government to deliver a cleaner, greener future.

About myEARTH

myEARTH is KNIB’s digital platform designed to elevate environmental action and streamline delivery across the sector.
