There may be other training requirements as well – such as training external users of our systems, training corporate volunteers, or a train-the-train model of supporting young people to work with those in their communities.
Key responsibilities
- Work with CEO and SMT to gain a strong understanding of the content we wish to deliver.

- Create and implement monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess the effectiveness of the training, gather feedback and finesse the training models you have created.
- Be able to run a train the trainer model for corporate volunteers, other staff, and young people on specific programmes, briefing them and ensuring consistency and quality.
- Work with the Head of External Affairs to produce high quality materials, including presentations, leaflets and other resources.
- Support marketing, project management, contract management and other functions delivered by other team members.
- Provide accurate reporting on the basis of feedback, participation and other indicators of current success.
- Take a self-sufficient approach to logistical management, whilst also working with colleagues where duties overlap.
- Keep up to date on developments in digital skills, maintaining subject matter knowledge.
- Maintain a strong understanding of the digital poverty landscape, including across policy, research and interventions, to inform training delivery.
- Work with colleagues to role model best practice in training.
The role is remote based - the whole team works from home - but you will need to be able to regularly travel across the UK including potential overnight stays and evening working. You must feel comfortable being the person who sets up at a training event, and have a hands-on approach. (The costs of travel are, of course, covered.)
Please ensure that you complete the cover letter field. Applications without a cover letter won't be considered.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint a Legacy and In Memory Officer.
Join Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and help create a wilder future for Yorkshire. We’re looking for a compassionate and proactive Legacy and In Memory Officer to grow and manage our legacy giving and in-memory fundraising programmes – vital income streams that help us protect and restore nature for generations to come.
In this essential role, you will lead the development and delivery of our inspiring legacy and in-memory fundraising activities. You’ll help our supporters celebrate their loved ones, mark special occasions and make lasting contributions through gifts in wills. Working closely with colleagues across fundraising, communications, and supporter engagement, you’ll ensure that every supporter feels valued, informed, and connected to the impact of their gift.
Your responsibilities will include delivering Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s legacy marketing strategy and in-memory giving programme. You will steward legacy supporters and next of kin with empathy, care, and professionalism. You will also coordinate legacy events, campaigns, and communications with legacy pledgers. In addition, you will manage legacy administration, liaising with solicitors and executors to ensure gifts are handled sensitively and effectively.
To succeed in this role, you will need to be a confident communicator with excellent written and interpersonal skills. You will be organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage sensitive and confidential information. Experience in fundraising, supporter care, or legacy and in-memory giving—or transferable skills from a relevant sector—will be essential. You will also be empathetic and supportive when working with bereaved individuals or those planning for the future.
