About Us 

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 944,000 members, over 38,000 volunteers, 3,600 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work. 

Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts. 

The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities. 

About You 

If you are a passionate marine conservationist looking for a role that will deliver significant benefits for nature in Welsh seas with one of the UK’s best loved nature charities, then we have an exciting opportunity for you. 

We are the largest non-governmental organisation working on marine issues in the UK, and are looking for a supportive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable colleague to join our team. Despite Blue Planet and more recently the Wild Isles series, we still have a job to do, to raise the profile of the sea and all that lives within it. 

We know that our marine wildlife is under increasing pressure, and we need to do more to restore it for future generations – are you the person to help us do that? We are looking for an individual to join the Wildlife Trusts Wales team to deliver positive changes in marine recovery in Wales. 

You will be organised and motivated, able to take the initiative and lead the effective delivery of marine recovery policy and new developments in marine funding in Wales. You will have an understanding of issues facing marine wildlife. You will have experience of advocacy work and ideally an understanding of Welsh environmental legislation. You will need to understand how to achieve marine habitat and species restoration at scale. Associated with this, an awareness of the emerging area of blue finance and marine net benefit. You will be supported by UK colleagues and individuals within the five local Wildlife Trusts in Wales. 

The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgmental and are inclusive. We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.

Who we are

Chefs in Schools is an ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids' health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality.

We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead.

We’re backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education, setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.
