Agricultural Adviser

The 2023 State of Nature Report highlighted the continuing devastating loss of UK nature. One in six species are at risk of becoming extinct in the UK, and we live in one of the most nature depleted countries on Earth.

We must act fast, with ambition, and at scale. Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is here to put nature into recovery, and we need your help.

By joining our agricultural advice team, you’ll be on the front line, helping farmers, landowners and growers to support nature’s recovery whilst enabling them to continue growing high quality food. You will be making a unique contribution to an incredible mission. People are at the heart of everything we do as an organisation, and with farmland covering 70% of Warwickshire it’s critical we support farmers, landowners and growers to make space for nature and take action for wildlife. As an Agricultural Adviser at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, you will work alongside colleagues in the team to help inspire and support farmers across the area. You will work closely with our Warwickshire Farm Cluster Groups and the partners we work with to provide advice and guidance to farmers. Helping them to integrate nature into their business, apply for the Government’s new agricultural grants, and support them to transition to a more nature friendly way of farming.
