We look to recruit trustees from a range of backgrounds, life stages and skills to join us. 

Currently, we wish to recruit Trustees with skills in three key areas:  

  • business and commercial skills 
  • experience of estate management or rural surveying 
  • philanthropic giving  

 More broadly you would need the following skills and qualities: 

  • A strong commitment to wildlife conservation and the Vision of the Trust; 
  • A good understanding of governance, gained either as a Trustee of another charity, a director of a company, or as a manager who has worked with Boards; 
  • The ability to apply clear logical thinking and creativity to developing our strategy 

If you are successful, you will be welcomed and supported by a talented and committed board of trustees, a strong and experienced staff team and an active and expanding band of volunteers and by the wider Wildlife Trust movement. We hope you are inspired to apply, and we look forward to hearing from you.
