Green Finance is a new work stream at Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, that has been established to explore new and innovate methods of funding our work.

Green Finance encompasses a whole range of services and sales; however, we are particularly interested in using Payments for Ecosystem Services (e.g., Biodiversity Net-Gain, Carbon Credits, Nutrient Neutrality).


In this role, you will work with our Wild Solutions and Wilder Landscapes teams to gain an understanding of the ecosystem services that healthy functioning habitats can deliver.

Using this knowledge, you will support the team in developing funding and management plans for a range of sites and habitats across Derbyshire.


To be successful you will be a clear and confident communicator, with a well-rounded understanding of the UK environment and the challenges it faces and will be passionate about developing your skills and experience in the conservation sector.

This is an exciting role that will play a key role in creating more space for nature across Derbyshire.


What will you gain:


  • An understanding of ecosystem services and the ecological principles that underpin them.
  • An understanding of the Green Finance market and how Payments for Ecosystem Services can deliver more space for Nature.
  • Experience working across a range of site and habitats across Derbyshire.
  • Wider training opportunities to support your professional and personal development

  • you have a willingness to learn new skills
- you are keen to use your numerate skills to tackle the climate emergency
- you have great attention to detail and communication skills
- you have a commitment to the restoration of nature and other environmental issues

What our previous trainees, interns and placements have to say about gaining experience with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust
"Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and think that it has really helped me with gaining valuable experience in the industry that I am looking for a career in."

"I feel like schools, colleges, even some adults give the perception that work is scary and strict and unbearable and that was absolutely not the case with DWT. If anything, it made me look forward to future jobs"

"It was a good traineeship, I felt just as valued as every other member of staff, everyone was lovely which really helped my anxiety, there were ample opportunities to learn and grow and I love how personal development was a priority within the Trust for all staff."


We are happy to talk flexible working


This role will be based at our office in Middleton although a balance of home and office working will be allowed.
