Are you able to capture the passion, imagination and resources of the people within a community to create a community nature reserve? If so, this could be the job for you...
The Wildlife Trusts are working to facilitate nature’s recovery within the communities we work alongside, and we know that if nature is to be restored at scale, we need many more people on nature’s side. This role will enable you to make a real difference to nature’s recovery and to be part of our vision to protect 30% of land and sea by 3030.
We are looking for a talented community organiser to work with Avon Wildlife Trust on a partnership project with South Gloucestershire Council. You will need to be highly personable, passionate and organised. From people’s gardens to public green spaces, you will engage and empower communities to create Community Nature Reserves that link to wildlife habitats and species in Warmley to form part of a Nature Action Zone.
Avon Wildlife Trust is a charity dedicated to working with local people for local wildlife, covering the West of England region (former county of Avon). It is supported by more than 17,500 members, manages over 30 nature reserves and is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK.
