This is an exciting time to be joining the Trust, which is thinking bigger and stepping up to collaborate widely. Our new Nature Recovery directorate is focused on working with farmers and strategic landowners to achieve nature’s recovery across the wider landscape, beyond our own reserves. We are looking for an enterprising and positive-thinking Director of Nature Recovery, with an eye for strategic opportunities and a talent for motivating teams, partners and funders.

You will have the leadership skills and emotional intelligence to help your teams achieve great things, and a mind-set that seeks out solutions. You will have the commercial aptitude to lead the development of investible propositions for nature’s recovery at landscape-scale, alongside a more integrated land advice offer for the Trust. You will have outstanding collaboration skills and the credibility to play a leading role in strategic partnerships, from Big Chalk to our own Wylye Valley Landscape Recovery project.

We are part of The Wildlife Trusts federation, which connects the 46 county Trusts in a powerful network for innovation with a strong national voice. You will find that your team extends beyond Wiltshire to a dynamic network of fellow Directors, here in the southwest and UK-wide.
