    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 870,000 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 a motivated, resilient self-starter who also thrives as part of a team.

You will be experienced in working in a grants team, managing a caseload of projects and advising applicants on eligibility.

You will be adept at communicating with a range of stakeholders and be able to explain complex funding criteria and procedural requirements into plain English.


You will have keen attention to detail, be used to balancing multiple priorities and using your initiative, whilst working against tight deadlines.

A talented team-player, you will need to work with a number of teams across the central charity, RSWT, as well as regulatory bodies and individuals within the community as we build communities and transform lives.


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.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible.
