The Role
Issues of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) have shaped the charity since its inception in 1889. 132 years later these issues are more relevant than ever; the natural world has been pushed to its limits and humanity’s increasing destruction of nature is having devastating consequences not just for wildlife and the climate, but for the wellbeing of people.

- With project manager support, to develop ways of working, and associated training and guidance to staff in England on working in diverse partnerships, including effective relationship management.

- Strong stakeholder management skills and demonstrable experience of developing and working in a variety of diverse partnerships.
