THE CANDIDATE
We would love to speak to people with fundraising or sales experience, but this isn t essential for this role.

Join The Woodland Trust and help to protect and restore our natural environment.

• Approachable and outgoing
• Resilient
• Ready to share your passion for the environment
• Able to engage and inspire a range of people through great conversations, leading to them joining the Woodland Trust

WHAT TO EXPECT BY JOINING A TEAM AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE
There s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Joining the team, you will be making your contribution to tackling the nature and climate crisis. In return, we recognise and value our people. You'll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a contributory pension, life assurance, good holiday allowance and the opportunity to work flexibly.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
At the Woodland Trust, we believe everyone deserves to have their lives enriched by trees and woods.
We also believe that our organisation should reflect and represent the full richness of human diversity in terms of background, identity, ability and circumstance. As groups of people currently underrepresented as Woodland Trust employees, we are particularly keen to receive your application if you are Black, Asian or minority ethnic, disabled or under 25. We are measuring our success in redressing this.
We are open to discussion of any adjustments or flexible working arrangements you may need to achieve your full potential at any stage of the process, and if you are successful in gaining a position with us, during employment.
We promise the only thing we assess within your application is how you have demonstrated your suitability for the job, and nothing else.
