As a Fundraising Officer you will have excellent communication skills, especially written. You
will be comfortable supporting grant monitoring and evaluation activity. You be confident in
building strong and compelling relationships with funders and corporate partners. You will work
as part of an effective team and benefit from working with experienced professionals. Above all
you will be driven by a commitment to drive forward our charitable income to help support
nature’s recovery.

Benefits include 28 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata), a 7% employer
contribution pension, flexible and hybrid working opportunities, an Employee Assistance
Programme and working alongside a supportive and friendly group of nature lovers!

able to demonstrate that you have the right to work in the UK if you wish to apply for this
role.

We are committed to ensuring transparent and non-discriminatory recruitment and employment. As
a progressive charitable organisation, we champion equal opportunities and welcome applications
