Job description

Are you a fundraising team leader, experienced across a range of funding sources with a passion for wildlife? Have you inspired support for a cause from a wide range of people and able to help our organisation grow in delivering our strategy to 2030?

Avon Wildlife Trust has exciting plans for nature’s recovery in the former Avon region. We want to create and restore habitats, enable people to take action for wildlife, and secure more land for nature in our local area.

We are looking for a Head of Fundraising to cover maternity leave, who can galvanise support for our work from funders, members, corporates and donors, help with continuing to develop a high-performing fundraising team, and support colleagues in developing fundable projects towards nature’s recovery  engaging people and bringing wildlife back. If this is you, we want to hear from you.

Avon Wildlife Trust is a charity dedicated to working with local people for local wildlife, covering the West of England region (former county of Avon). It is supported by more than 17,500 members, manages over 30 nature reserves and is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK. We want to see nature restored on a grand scale across the Avon region, with one in four people taking action for wildlife.

The Wildlife Trusts value diversity. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures. We also have robust child safeguarding policies, and this role requires two work references.
