Yorkshire Wildlife Trust was established 80 years ago and today is one of the UK’s fastest growing charities for nature. We seek to appoint a Digital Marketing Officer to join the communications and public affairs team.

We are looking for a digital marketing expert to lead and boost engagement online, drive footfall to our visitor centres as well as events, and inspire more people across Yorkshire to choose a wilder life. 

This is a role in which you could make a world of difference, by bringing wild experiences to more people through colourful content and stories, leading to positive action for wildlife and driving recognition for our trusted brand. 

Close collaboration with colleagues across the Trust is essential, working with communication, engagement, reserve and visitor services colleagues to promote events, and a growing programme of wildlife-themed festivals and wildlife watching experiences. 

You will have experience of planning and delivering strategy to reach different audiences through channels, as well as creating or commissioning content that reaches audiences with impact. You will have an ability and interest in using analytics to help bring continuous learning and improvement to our activity. 

People tell us that the best thing about working at the Trust is the people and you’ll join a dedicated communications and public affairs team, in the growing fundraising and engagement directorate. 

Yorkshire is home to some of the UK’s most amazing wildlife and wild places but much of it is under growing pressure and facing an uncertain future. We are part of UK wide movement restoring nature, helping people take meaningful action and creating an inclusive society where nature matters. You will have an opportunity to truly make a difference in one of England’s largest regions, to inspire more people to notice, enjoy and take action for Yorkshire’s incredible wildlife and wild places.  

War on Want challenges the root causes of poverty and injustice. We run impactful campaigns in the UK - and work with partner organisations across the Global South. We are currently relaunching our trade justice campaigning and are looking for an energetic early career campaigner to work on it. 

The trade system sits at the heart of the rigged global economy. It perpetuates social, economic and climate injustice. From fossil fuel corporations suing governments in secret courts, to British mining giants violently extracting minerals from countries in the Global South, to upholding neocolonial patterns of economic inequality. 

Our re-launched campaign will challenge these secret ‘ISDS’ courts and the dangerous global rush for critical minerals, while championing trade justice.

This is a diverse and challenging role. On a typical day, the successful candidate might be planning a panel discussion, producing social media content, meeting an MP, carrying out research, organising a protest, or coordinating with allied organisations. We are looking for an ambitious self-starter with a passion for social justice.
