Introduction



Warwickshire Wildlife Trust (WWT) is one of the 46 UK Wildlife Trusts. Established in 1970 we

are a grass roots organisation governed by 14 trustees elected from a membership of over 29,000

people, 99% of whom live in the county, and supported by 800 active volunteers. We manage 67

nature reserves which total more than 1,000 hectares across Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull

and no one living or working in that area is more than 6 miles from one of these wildlife

havens.



As members of the influential network of Wildlife Trusts, we are part of a collective covering

the whole of the UK with 870,000 members, 35,000 volunteers, 2,500 staff and 600 trustees, all

working together through a central unit, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (TWT). Together

we are on a mission to restore a third of the UK's land and seas for nature by 2030. We believe

everyone, everywhere, should have access to nature and the joy and health benefits it brings.

Each Wildlife Trust is an independent charity formed by people getting together to make a

positive difference for wildlife, climate and future generations. Together we care for 2,300

diverse and beautiful nature reserves and work with others to manage their land for nature,

too.



Warwickshire Wildlife Trust has an ambitious new ten-year strategy. By 2030 we want to have put

wildlife into recovery by creating more space for nature with more people on nature's side.



Our members, staff, volunteers, champions, supporters, visitors and advocates are already part

of a growing movement of individuals standing up for nature. However, we know though that for

the scales to shift further wildlife needs even more people to be acting in support of nature

because, while public concern about the environment is at an all-time high, behaviour change is

lagging far behind. Science shows that when 25% of people act this is enough to change the

minds and behaviour of the majority so we have set ourselves the ambitious target of helping 1

in 4 people in Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull to take action for wildlife and become part

of Team Wilder.

Team Wilder is built on five key principles:

nature connectedness, learning and skills,

behaviour change, empowerment, action, and movement building. These principles guide our

approach to inspiring more people to take action for nature. As part of the Team Wilder

directorate, you'll be at the heart of movement building; bringing people together to create

significant change for nature that no one person or institution can solve alone. You'll be part

of creating a powerful, self-organising movement for nature recovery which thrives across

Warwickshire, Coventry, and Solihull - driven by volunteer leaders, community-led campaigns,

and broad-based coalitions.

Job Purpose:

This role is part of the Wilder Organising team and focuses on building movement infrastructure

across under-served or emerging areas of Warwickshire, with a particular emphasis on rural

communities, villages, and new localities not yet covered by our place-based organisers. The

postholder will organise regionally, with a focus on developing grassroots leadership,

activating local groups, and creating the foundations for long-term distributed organising.

Benefits:

Employers' pension contribution up to 7% (with 4.5% from employee)



25 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising after 2 years' service



Access to Electric Vehicle salary sacrifice scheme



Employee Assistance Programme



Death in service benefit equivalent to 3x salary
