About us
Cheshire Wildlife Trust is the region’s leading independent wildlife charity working across Cheshire, Halton, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Warrington and Wirral for over 60 years.
Wildlife is in decline and the climate crisis is accelerating — but change is possible. At Cheshire Wildlife Trust, we’re working towards a bold vision: by 2030, nature is in recovery and more people are taking action for wildlife.
About you and the role
At Cheshire Wildlife Trust, our GIS capability sits at the heart of how we plan, prioritise and communicate the case for nature recovery across the region.
We’re looking for a skilled GIS Officer to join our Data & Insights team, providing expert spatial analysis, mapping and ecological data support across the whole organisation. You’ll develop and maintain the geospatial tools, datasets and workflows that keep our evidence sharp and accessible – from mapping habitat extent and species distributions to supporting funding bids, reserve management and stakeholder engagement.
You’ll bring experience in GIS and spatial data management, with strong technical skills across relevant platforms and a solid understanding of ecological datasets and data standards. You’ll be comfortable working across teams, turning complex spatial information into clear outputs that non-specialists can use with confidence, and you’ll care about making sure our data is accurate, well-governed and fit for purpose.
In return, you’ll be part of a fast-growing, mission-led charity at a pivotal moment for nature, doing work that directly shapes what we can achieve on the ground.
At Cheshire Wildlife Trust we embrace agile working with a focus on supporting you to achieve your objectives alongside a healthy work-life balance. We operate a hybrid working policy with most staff working at least part of the week from home and/or out on site.
Closing date: Sunday 4 October 2026
