This is an exciting time for Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Wildlife needs us now, more than ever. And changes are afoot that will help us do more for wildlife right across the landscape. Wildlife needs bigger, better and more connected places to live. And policies are beginning to change in our favour. There are new funding streams in biodiversity, carbon, nutrients and water. And there are new sources of income from businesses. This, coupled with a growing public understanding of the value of nature means that there are many new opportunities for nature’s recovery in Norfolk.
We have bold ambitions to harness these changes. In addition to managing over 60 sites for wildlife, we are building a Nature Recovery team, who will achieve sustainable nature recovery at scale across Norfolk
Our Nature Recovery Team will protect and recover biodiversity on land and at sea, increase the area of land managed and restored for nature across Norfolk and connect wild spaces for nature’s recovery.
To achieve this, we will work alongside a wide variety of landowners, businesses, conservation organisations, town planners, funders and communities.

You are skilled in seeing areas of mutual benefit and experienced at influencing others to benefit our wildlife. Vitally, you are a great communicator and enjoy working in partnership.
We are values-led and work with integrity: how we do things is just as important as what we do.
