Now is an exciting time to join the Defra Group and its Communications team. We are shaping plans that will deliver genuine and lasting change for food, farming, fishing and the environment, outside the EU.

We have a significant international and European agenda, with as much as 80% of our work impacting across borders. As part of EU Exit, we are committed to engaging across the Defra Group’s sectors and stakeholders, as well as the wider public.

For you, this is the chance to not only power communications, but power change for the nation.
