What you will be doing:

At Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT), we believe everyone should have access to nature. We’re working to make our nature reserves more inclusive, welcoming and accessible for all - and we need your help.

At present, not everyone in Shropshire is able to access nature equally.

We’re looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Community Facilitator to connect with local communities and help shape this important work.

We’re looking for:

• You are aligned with our mission, with a personal connection to nature and a strong belief in its role in addressing the climate and ecological crises.
• You understand the principles of community organising and have experience applying this approach across diverse groups.
• You actively champion diversity, equality and inclusion, and are committed to embedding these principles in your work.
• You have a proven ability to build and nurture effective relationships with a wide range of people and communities.
• You are a confident project manager, experienced in coordinating multiple stakeholders and working to deadlines.
• You have excellent organisational skills, able to prioritise effectively and focus on what matters most.
• You are confident using IT systems, particularly Microsoft Office programmes.
• You hold a full UK driving licence.

The Trust is committed to building an equal, diverse and inclusive workforce we encourage applications from a diverse range of suitably qualified candidates.  Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible.
