Jobs
For nearly a century, Norfolk Wildlife Trust has been committed to the conservation of Norfolk’s wildlife: a commitment expressed in land acquisition, habitat restoration, education, engagement and advocacy. Our passionate belief is that the wildlife of Norfolk deserves a healthy landscape in which to thrive and that people deserve the same.
We own and manage more than 60 nature reserves and protected sites covering over 5,000 hectares and are working on a landscape-scale to rebuild and re-connect fragmented ecological areas.
We have five visitor centres and a thriving education centre offering events, workshops and exhibitions.
We recognise that our members, volunteers, supporters and visitors are vital to our success and we seek to provide excellent standards of service and response to their needs.
Our staff have a shared passion for wildlife conservation and a commitment to making a positive impact for nature and the people of Norfolk. We encourage collaboration and communication at every level and, wherever you are working, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside a fantastic team committed to making a difference.
How to apply
Please see the contact details section on the individual job posting for application information, and Job Descriptions for more about each position. Please indicate clearly for which post you are applying. Let us know if you need these in a different format and we will aim to accommodate your request.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We value respect, integrity, trust and responsibility. We want our people to be as diverse as nature itself and so we particularly encourage applications from those currently under-represented within our sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. We welcome people of all backgrounds and levels of experience with nature, and continually strive to improve our culture and practices. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. Please let us know if you require any adjustment processes to make our recruitment process more accessible.
Safeguarding
Criminal Records: Some posts within Norfolk Wildlife Trust are exempt from some provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 because they involve working with vulnerable adults or children or have access to sensitive information. In these cases, the Trust is entitled to ask for details of all spent and unspent convictions. If you are successful at being appointed to one of these posts, we will ask you to complete a form from the DBS and any offer of employment will be subject to a DBS clearance. Please note that a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from being employed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and each case will be considered individually.
