The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales is seeking to recruit a Fundraising and Communications Manager.

Salary: £37,000 permanent contract
Location: Choice of offices; Bridgend, or Cilgerran mixed with home-working.
Hours: 35 per week with flexi/ TOIL
Deadline: 12 noon Friday 5th September
Interviews: Tuesday 16th September @Parc Slip Nature Centre, Bridgend. Shortlisted applicants will be sent invitations to interview by 5pm on Tuesday 9th September.

We are an environmental charity that is rich in assets, with over 110 nature reserves including Skomer and Skokholm Islands and 4 visitor centres. We need to increase the delivery of our charitable objectives given the joint nature and climate crises our country is facing but at the moment a lack of unrestricted income is impacting our sustainability and resilience and holding us back from being more impactful.

Recent studies have shown significant opportunities for unrestricted income through fundraising and associated communications. A better balance of unrestricted and grant income would allow us to deliver more work, more consistently and over the longer term to contribute towards our vision and strategy. Given these opportunities we want to recruit a full time person at a senior level with the appropriate skills and experience as a Fundraising and Communications Manager.

You will have significant practical experience related to fundraising and communications within a charity or social enterprise organisation, or with a private organisation that has similar aims to a charity. A relevant qualification to degree or similar level is preferred but emphasis is placed on a good practical track record in relevant and related employment areas, and transferrable skills. A clear understanding of and empathy with the Wildlife Trust movement is essential.

We are committed to putting equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of The Wildlife Trusts, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy of wildlife in their daily lives.
