The vacancy
Full Time (35 Hours per week)
Fixed term contract – 2 years
If you are a technical project management professional with a passion for creating innovative solutions and optimising systems to support people to do the things that matter, we encourage you to apply for this exciting role. Join us in our mission to make a positive impact, empowering volunteers to take meaningful action for nature, and creating a world where nature matters to everyone, everywhere.
Who we are
We are a grassroots movement of 46 independent Wildlife Trusts, supported by a central charity, The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. We have more than 900,000 members, 35,000 volunteers and 3,500 staff across the UK. We are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history, with an ambitious new strategy setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.
The next 10 years will be critical in determining what kind of world we will 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. This will require big, bold changes in the way we think and operate, and the development of a strong, collaborative culture. It will require an increase in collaboration and working together, underpinned by strong systems and data.
The Wildlife Trusts are on a mission to bring about a people-powered nature and climate recovery by empowering people to take meaningful action for nature, and to create an inclusive society where nature matters to everyone, everywhere. We are ambitious in our desire not just to slow, but to reverse the declines in nature. Together we have developed a bold, new collective strategy which outlines our vision and the actions we will take to restore nature over the next eight years.
About You
As a highly skilled and technical Project Manager, you are an expert in managing complex projects with a focus on implementing and optimising systems. Your strong background in stakeholder and user engagement will enable you to understand the needs and challenges of our volunteer management project. Your proficiency in managing databases and webbased systems will be instrumental in developing and owning the technical infrastructure for the volunteer management system. Your strategic vision, creativity and technical acumen will ensure the successful roll-out and enhancement of the system, supporting the Wildlife Trust federation's ambitious plans.
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 judgemental and are inclusive. We want our people to be as diverse as nature, so 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.
