Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the county’s largest environmental charity, committed to the protection and enhancement of Norfolk’s wildlife and wild places.
We’re looking for a Head of Nature Economy and Business Development to join our Nature Recovery team to develop and deliver an integrated advisory offer with a focus on nature economy markets, and grow our ecological consultancy so it continues to provide a vital income stream for Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
This impactful and dynamic role will help scale up our nature recovery work and increase the area of land managed and restored for nature across Norfolk, therefore contributing to the national Wildlife Trusts’ aim of 30% of the UK’s land and sea managed for nature by 2030.
You will lead our Norfolk Wildlife Services consultancy business that offers a comprehensive range of professional ecological and arboricultural services with profits invested back into the Trust to enable its vital work to continue.
The emergence of the nature economy offers the potential for significant private investment, and you will lead NWT’s journey into the nature market sphere where diverse financing opportunities will give the Trust the ability to deliver nature recovery at scale.
This is an exciting time to join Norfolk Wildlife Trust in this new role that will have significant impact in helping to tackle the nature and climate crisis we face today.
In return, we offer a competitive benefits package. A full list can be found on our website.
