Celebrity and Ambassador Programme Coordinator

ABOUT US

The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity. We want to see a world
where trees and woods thrive for people and nature. The Trust engages and inspires people to
make their difference tackling the nature and climate crisis helping protect, restore and
create our vital woods and trees.

THE ROLE

The Celebrity and Ambassador Programme Co-ordinator is a highly motivated self-starter
dedicated to making a difference for the UK’s woods and trees. This role is responsible for the
development, management, and delivery of the Celebrity and Ambassador programme. 

Working closely with other programme leads, this role engages key stakeholders, facilitates
excellent stewardship, and builds strong relationships between celebrities, ambassadors, and
the Woodland Trust. The primary focus areas include updating and engaging Ambassadors and
Celebrity contacts with the work of the Trust, developing inspiring content for the group to
share and providing top-notch account management for key supporters.

This is a Hybrid working role, where you’ll work part of your time at home and part of the time
from our Head Office based in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Our Hybrid Working Policy is flexible,
and the frequency of time spent in your contracted office will vary across teams and job roles.

THE CANDIDATE

You’ll be a confident self-starter who enjoys using their own initiative and building
relationships. You’ll have an eye for detail and the ability to adapt your message or approach
to get the best response from potential partners. You’ll be resilient and determined when
building relationships, having the patience and professionalism to build and grow a connection
from scratch. 

Along with having a genuine passion for woodlands and the outdoors you will ideally have
experience in a major donor fundraising environment or key account management/key client
stewardship.

Our Organisational Nature enables us to better understand what it means to be part of the
Woodland Trust, empowering us to make an impact, every day. We want you to be able to role
model our values; ‘Grow Together’, ‘Focus’, ‘Explore’ and ‘Make it Count’ to ensure each of us
plays our part in helping to protect, restore and create our woods and trees.

WHAT TO EXPECT BY JOINING A TEAM AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE

There’s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Joining the team you will be making your
contribution to tackling the nature and climate crisis. In return, we recognise and value our
people. You’ll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development,
along with a contributory pension, life assurance, good holiday allowance and the opportunity
to work flexibly from home. 

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY & INCLUSION 

At the Woodland Trust, we want to reflect and represent the full richness of diversity in the
UK. Fewer of our employees are Black, Asian or minority ethnic; disabled; from lower
socio-economic backgrounds or under 25; so we are particularly keen to receive your application
if you are from one or more of these groups. We can also discuss anything you may need to
achieve your full potential at any stage of the process. We assess your application solely on
your demonstrated suitability for the job. Nothing else.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable
applications. If you are interested, we’d encourage you to submit your application as early as
possible.
