North Wales Wildlife Trust are seeking Nature Development Officers for a partnership project to accelerate action for nature in North Wales. The team will work with many sectors and organisations to compile a composite and systematic view of priorities, action and funding needed for nature across the North Wales.

You will be from an environmental, rural land use or natural resources management background within the private, public or charitable sectors. 

You will have an organised approach, grounded by strong partnership and project experience. We would expect an understanding of countryside management, nature conservation and farming, and that you are comfortable with managing information and simple GIS. 

You will be a great communicator, with a personable style, who can work with many different people across the wonderful variety of geography, business development and activities of the Wildlife Trust and its partner organisations. 

You enjoy meeting people and being part of a team. This is a new role that will evolve following your appointment so you should be excited by the flexibility and opportunities to take an innovative approach.  

We will welcome applications for part-time working or to be on secondment from a permanent post.

We would consider proposals for secondment for shorter periods than the full 18 months of the project.

The salary we offer successful candidates will depend on your experience.  Secondees would remain employed by their existing employer, salary and terms and conditions.

We are working with a consortium of other third sector and public bodies to lift the ambition for nature in the region.  We aim to broaden the alliance of sectors involved and close an annual funding gap of tens of millions of pounds.

The consortium includes the RSPB, North Wales Wildlife Trust, National Trust, Eryri National Park Authority, Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape, Cyngor Gwynedd, Cyngor Sir Ynys Mon, the Welsh Dee Trust and Natural Resources Wales.

This leading-edge project is made possible by a generous grant from the Moondance Foundation.

We value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgemental 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.  

We take our Safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously. Please click here to read our commitment statement . This role may be subject to a DBS check.
