To make a real difference in this role you'll need to love working with people and have a real passion for the natural environment, heritage, conservation and woods and trees.
Naturally you'll need to have real enthusiasm for the Woodland Trust and the wonderful work we do.
You'll also need to be:
• Engaging and positive, able to inspire and secure support through quality conversations with members of the public
• Resilient, flexible and able to work to targets
• Able to attend recruitment events in other parts of the country for training and conferences, setting up recruitment stands at both outdoor and indoor venues
• A driver with your own vehicle (or access to one) to travel to agreed work sites with all the necessary equipment
• Able to work three out of four weekends per month, with occasional overnight stays
If you have the confidence to talk to members of the public and ask for their support, along with a genuine love of the natural environment, we’ll provide you with the training and development to do the rest.
There’s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust.
Whatever you do here you will be supporting our work to protect and enhance woods and trees. In return, we recognise and value our people.
You'll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a benefits package that includes life assurance, contributory pension scheme (6% employer contribution), good holiday entitlement, and of course plenty of opportunities to get out and about in the woods.
We hope that you'll love working for the Woodland Trust just as much as the people who've already joined us.
On our website you can meet some of our team members from different parts of the organisation, hear what they love about their roles and find out why you should make the move too.
