There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work. Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts. 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 As the new Business Engagement Officer, you will work with businesses to drive positive change for, and investment in, nature and climate. This will include engaging with companies within a range of sectors, including food and farming, infrastructure, finance and technology. You will be a credible, motivated self-starter who is able to take the lead in enthusing business contacts and colleagues across the wider Wildlife Trusts family. You will be an expert communicator, experienced in the planning and delivery of commercial activities and deepening mutually beneficial relationships with businesses. You will ideally have a proven track record in successfully developing and nurturing sustainable business relationships, and in driving income growth (desirable). The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgmental and are inclusive. We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.
