✓If you are an experienced administrator looking for a role that will deliver significant improvements for wildlife across England at one of the UK’s best-loved nature charities, then we have an exciting opportunity for you.
✓We are looking for an individual to provide effective administrative support for a programme of multiple habitat improvement projects.
✓Who we are
✓The Wildlife Trusts are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts
✓Together we have more than 900,000 members, 38,000 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK
✓We are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history, with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.
✓Wildlife Trusts have restored and care for some of the most special places for wildlife in the UK
✓Collectively we manage more than 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms
✓We undertake research, we stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and we help people access nature.
✓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 recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way the Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.
✓About you

✓You will be experienced in providing a high standard of administrative support for a programme of projects, with the ability to process grant payments, to keep accurate records and to prepare professional and clear communications.
✓The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity
✓Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims we are not judgemental and are inclusive
✓We want our people to be as diverse as nature, so we particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities
✓We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.
✓As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post.
