Property & Compliance Officer
Devon Wildlife Trust
Are you passionate about providing safe, inspiring and low carbon places to work? Are you looking for a rewarding and highly varied role in the environmental charity sector?
Whether it is inspecting properties, reducing carbon emissions, helping people work safely or managing contractors, no two days in the Facilities Team are ever the same.
Operating a large charity like DWT always requires strong support to ensure it remains compliant, efficient and well run at all times. We are looking for a highly motivated person to join the team to help us in our mission to manage and maintain safe, environmentally sensitive and inspirational workplaces. The successful candidate does not need to be a property specialist, but be willing to learn how to manage properties, and should have experience of managing contractors, as well as a good knowledge of health and safety legislation. They must be an excellent, self-motivated team player, able to build relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. You will either have some experience of Carbon Reduction Strategies or be willing to learn new skills in this area.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop and improve iconic properties and working practices in some of the most beautiful parts of Devon, whilst making a meaningful contribution to the climate emergency at the same time.
This is a full-time, permanent post based at Cricklepit Mill, Exeter.
Interviews are being held on Friday 5 June.
We welcome candidates of all backgrounds and abilities who meet the essential criteria for this role. To achieve our vision, we need more people, and more diverse people, on nature’s side. We are committed to developing an inclusive and diverse organisation, in which everyone feels supported, valued, and able to be their full selves.
DWT is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment.

About Devon Wildlife Trust
We have lost incredible amounts of our wildlife. Species which once thrived in Devon have gone; many others which were commonplace are now rare. We need urgent change. It is time to put nature into recovery. We need to restore what has been lost and we need to do this on a grand scale. This means being bold: restoring degraded landscapes and seas, recreating wildlife habitat, reintroducing key species that have become locally extinct and properly protecting what we still have. Everyone can play a role in nature's recovery and this is where our work starts - shoulder to shoulder with all who love Devon and its wildlife.
