Who are we?

WRAP is a global environmental action NGO championing the shift towards a circular economy, fundamentally reshaping how we produce, consume, and manage resources. Our vision is a world transformed, in which Circular Living is commonplace. Where the systems that provide our everyday goods contribute to the world's prosperity and sustainability instead of reducing it.

WRAP is driving Circular Living through four key areas: accelerating the circular economy, future-proofing food, preventing problem plastics and transforming textiles. We catalyse action from policy makers, businesses, NGOs and citizens to make it happen.

We have offices in the UK, USA and Australia, and live projects in over 30 countries.

Join us at WRAP and you'll drive important change to make Circular Living the norm.

• Management of correspondence, sometimes as first point of contact, and sometimes involving confidential subjects
• Intuitive organisation of papers, files, minutes and proposals
• Delegated approvals, payments and other ad-hoc team and project support

• Have exceptional organisational and administrative skills, comfortable with all the usual software
• Be able to build brilliant relationships both internally and externally and at all levels
• Have the integrity and tactfulness to manage sensitive and confidential information
• Be self-motivated and highly proactive in identifying opportunities to problem-solve and add value
