The FACE team in Brussels is looking for an Agricultural Policy Trainee to join its small, dynamic and highly supportive team.

This position will contribute directly to one of FACE’s key strategic priorities: improving conditions for small game populations and farmland biodiversity across Europe.

Europe’s farmland wildlife continues to face significant pressures, and the ongoing reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will be critical for improving habitat conditions and reversing declines in small game species.

In this context, FACE is reinforcing its policy capacity to support European advocacy, focusing on practical, evidence-based agricultural policy solutions that improve habitat quality and strengthen wildlife populations across farmed landscapes.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to develop expertise in EU agricultural policy in a diverse international environment.

The successful candidate will join an experienced and supportive Brussels-based team, working closely with colleagues, members and external experts on agricultural and biodiversity policy
