Full time: 35 hours per week (Mon-Fri) Permanent contract Closing date for applications: 5th January 2025 First interview: 14th January 2025 Second interview: 20th January 2025 About Us The Wildlife Trusts are a federation of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Together we have over 940,000 members, 32,500 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. From precious peatlands and wildflower meadows, to Britain’s lost rainforests, Wildlife Trusts have restored and care for some of the most special places for wildlife in the UK. We’ve re-wiggled rivers, brought back beavers to the UK and helped thousands of communities take matters into their own hands to bring back nature on their doorsteps. Collectively we manage more than 2,600 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. We undertake research, we campaign for wildlife and wild places under threat, and we help people access nature. But we’re not standing still. The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We have an ambitious new strategy to address this, setting out our bold vision of nature in recovery with many more people taking action for wildlife.
