Fundraising & Engagement Officer

Working with World Land Trust

WLT is based in the UK and is unique within the conservation world. Bringing more than 30 years
of experience the Trust has grown from small beginnings saving critically threatened forest in
Belize, to become an internationally respected conservation organisation with a proven track
record, working with more than 50 overseas conservation NGOs on protection of threatened
habitats. WLT has developed its modus operandi without losing its vision, integrity and
transparency.

Our Development Department is responsible for growing a diverse and loyal supporter base which
will enable the Trust to scale up its work. Within the Department, the Fundraising &
Engagement team develop and deliver effective stewardship journeys for WLT’s individual donors,
regular givers and fundraisers, deepening the commitment of existing supporters and inspiring
new supporters to contribute to WLT. We are passionate about ensuring that all donors feel
supported, valued and informed on their contribution to WLT’s work.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for applicants with strong stewardship skills and experience of nurturing
on-going relationships, having worked in either a fundraising or customer stewardship role. You
will be an excellent communicator, confident in engaging a wide range of audiences to enhance
the stewardship experience, particularly communicating in written format. You will be
passionate about sharing our work around wildlife conservation and committed to furthering the
mission and ethos of WLT.

We build flexibility into the way we work from day one, encouraging early conversations around
options for hybrid working to enable remote connection and collaboration but we do love having
people in our Suffolk offices and think it’s important to have some face-to-face time too. We
believe that this supports our staff to achieve their full potential at work and to maintain a
healthy work life balance to do the things that are important to them.

We recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce, bringing new perspectives and different life
experiences into the workplace. Our aim is to be an inclusive employer, providing a welcoming
and supportive environment for all staff, where staff can be the best they can be. We recognise
that we are underrepresented in some groups, so welcome and encourage applications from
minority ethnicities, those with disabilities, and all gender identities. What’s important to
us in this process is your skills, knowledge and experience to enable you to do the job and
that is where our focus will be to find our next new team member!
