The Director will work with our Trustees and network of volunteers to formulate local strategy, run local campaigns and liaise with the National Charity. The Director is assisted by a small staff team.
We are looking for an exceptional individual who can work with and motivate volunteers, take a strategic view on issues affecting the Oxfordshire countryside and represent CPRE at County and National forums. The role also involves management of the small staff team, the oversight of our finances and fundraising.
We’re committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace at CPRE, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because diverse workplaces can make better and more creative decisions. Whatever your background, we welcome your application. However people from ethnic minority backgrounds and disabled people are underrepresented in the environment sector.

You will need to be comfortable working in an adaptable and responsive manner and have a passion for enabling change across a wide variety of areas. This is a new role and many of the specifics will be developed in collaboration with the Development Director.
To be successful in this role you will need to be happy working collaboratively as well as autonomously at other times: it will be crucial to work closely with various different stakeholders inside and outside the organisation to ensure that the development function is serving the needs of all teams, but it will also be important to ensure you are comfortable making key decisions and delivering on your vision for the development and fundraising function.
About our charity: Join us to support people-led change across the UK
We run the Churchill Fellowships, a unique programme that supports UK citizens to find new solutions worldwide for today’s most pressing challenges.
Every year we fund over 100 new Fellows to discover the latest ideas and best practice in any practical issue they care passionately about, anywhere in the world. The topics they explore cover every aspect of society and are often informed by their own lived experience. They meet leading practitioners, encounter cutting-edge projects and gather their findings in a published report. Then we help them to turn their ideas into action and inspire change in their communities and professions across the UK.
Fellows tell us that their Fellowship is life-changing, for themselves and for those who benefit from their global learning. These are dedicated and practical individuals with a strong vision of the change they want to see, the knowledge to progress it and the drive to make it happen. As a result, their impact is felt throughout the UK, and many go on to be leaders in their fields.
Our unique approach has created a community of thousands of highly effective changemakers working on the frontlines of today’s key issues. At the heart of all this is a simple but enduring concept: we are empowering individuals to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK.
