Communications & Engagement Officer (Wildlife Champions)
Avon Wildlife Trust
Are you committed to supporting community powered change? Are you a knowledgeable nature lover with great communication skills?
If so, this could be the job for you...
You will support the staff team to scale up our highly successful community pilot project, Wildlife Champions, to reach a further 17 urban and rural communities in areas of high deprivation across South Gloucestershire and the county of Bristol. In this role you will work to document the Wildlife Champions programme and capture the benefits of the programme to local communities.
Our Wildlife Champions programme is designed to empower and resource community-led action for nature’s recovery, through peer-learning networks, training and mentoring. The successful candidate will support the delivery of the Wildlife Champions Programme, use a variety of media to capture learnings and impact, build positive partnerships, and collaborate on events to celebrate community action.
This transformative project, supported by the National Lottery Community Fund, is designed to empower a network of people - Team Wilder - to inspire others and put nature at the heart of everyday life.
In return, you’ll be joining a supportive and inclusive charity that is making a real difference for nature locally and regionally.
Avon Wildlife Trust is a charity dedicated to working with local people for local wildlife, covering the West of England region (former county of Avon). It is supported by more than 17,500 members, manages over 30 nature reserves and is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK. We want to see nature restored on a grand scale across the Avon region, with one in four people taking action for wildlife.
The Wildlife Trusts value diversity. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures.
