We're looking for someone to assist in the delivery of a project to support communities in helping wildlife in their neighbourhoods. This is an entry level role that is suitable for anyone, irrespective of their previous employment experience or qualifications, who is looking to begin a career in nature conservation.

We are looking for someone who is highly personable, passionate and organised. The role is for someone wanting to learn new skills in nature conservation and support the team with tasks that ensures the smooth running of this great project. This role offers you the opportunity to make a real difference in the restoration of nature and to contribute to our vision of protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030.

Our Neighbourhoods Nurturing Nature project centres on the River Salwarpe to River Severn corridor, encompassing Droitwich Spa, Fernhill Heath, Worcester and Kempsey. This corridor features a variety of natural landscapes, such as rivers, canals, parks, grasslands and woodlands, all of which host crucial habitats and species. It is rich in opportunities to support and encourage local communities to take action for nature in their own neighbourhoods.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a small team delivering a range of community engagement activities, events and workshops to help connect more people with their local open spaces. The project aims to provide people with the necessary skills and knowledge needed to take action for wildlife on their local patch. The post holder will be responsible for helping with a wide range of project-related tasks from helping deliver nature-based activities in communities to taking photos of conservation in action.

Community engagement is an essential part of our work. We believe that involving local people is crucial for the restoration and recovery of nature in Worcestershire. Our approach is simple, we listen to what communities want for their open spaces and work together to break down barriers. By doing this, we create opportunities for people to engage with their local wild places, learn more about the wildlife around them and take action to protect it.

Some evening & weekend work will be required and a full driving licence is essential. This is a part-time, 14 hours per week position on a 18-month fixed-term contract with the working pattern to be agreed with the successful candidate.

The role will be largely based at Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, Lower Smite Farm, Hindlip, Worcester WR3 8SZ with regular travel throughout Worcester, Droitwich and the surrounding areas.

We’re Wild About Inclusion.  To us, this means inspiring, empowering and engaging people from all backgrounds, cultures, identities and abilities to change the natural world for the better.  It also means cultivating inclusive workspaces that are free from discrimination, where differences are valued and everyone can be themselves and flourish, just like nature!
