Are you an experienced major donor fundraiser, looking for your next challenge, who is committed to conservation and enthusiastic about investing in our environment?

The Heart of England Forest is an exciting and ambitious charity working hard to create a huge new woodland in the heart of the country that will benefit people and wildlife for generations to come.

We take our mission very seriously; it has never been more important to invest in our natural environment.  Planting trees and creating new woodlands is no longer just a positive ambition for the country, it’s absolutely essential. It is the simplest solution to help mitigate climate change and create new green spaces that can help reconnect people and communities with nature and the natural environment.

Our goal is to reach 30,000 acres of semi contiguous forest by planting 13 million native broadleaf trees. To date we have planted almost 1.9 million trees.  The significance and scale of our work cannot be underestimated: The Heart of England Forest - already the largest new native forest in the country – will become one of the largest forests in England.

Not only is our Forest expanding, so too is our team, and we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us.  The charity is a rewarding place to work and offers its staff a number of benefits.

Please visit the Heart of England Forest website to download a job description / person specification and an application form. Please note that CVs will not be accepted in lieu of a completed application form.
