Employer Overview
There is great contrast within Hertfordshire and the four Middlesex boroughs we cover, from urban areas to quiet agricultural landscapes. We have a wide variety of habitats from flower-rich grasslands and ancient woodlands, to our internationally important chalk streams. In our nature reserves and the wider countryside, we have nationally rare species such as water voles and black necked-grebe. Protecting existing places which are important for wildlife and seeking to connect these sites is vital.
The Trust’s Strategy 2030 sets out our vision and goals. We want to see more space for nature and more people standing up for wildlife and taking action. It is also important that nature is recognised as playing a central role in helping to address issues such as climate change and health and wellbeing. An objective shared by all the Wildlife Trusts is to achieve 30% of land managed and protected for wildlife by 2030.
Working at the heart of communities across our area, we are supported by 23,000 members. Over 600 volunteers help our work on nature reserves, biological recording and engagement activities. We run a variety of partnership projects which aim to inspire the local community and be the catalyst for action. Inspiring people to take action for wildlife through events, communications, project work and advocacy work is core to the Trust and aims to help us to achieve the step change needed to give wildlife and wild spaces a more positive future.
We manage over 40 nature reserves which cover habitats including ancient woodland, lowland meadows, heathland, wetlands and lakes. They are managed to maximise their value for wildlife and to be welcoming places for visitors. We also provide advice to landowners such as schools, golf courses, local authorities and farmers on action they can take for wildlife.
Why work with us?
We believe that wildlife should be able to thrive alongside our everyday lives and that everyone benefits from having access to nature. If we work together as a community, nature will recover and we will create a greener, sustainable and wilder future.
This is a pivotal time and we must all take action for wildlife before it is too late.
If you feel you have the drive, knowledge and experience we need and want to work with people who care passionately about the future of wildlife, please do consider working for us.
