A strong negotiator with a collaborative approach, you’ll be able to identify, develop and build effective relationships with a range of supporters at all stages of the legacy journey to grow pledger numbers, improve pledger loyalty and increase legacy income.

The role is home-based but externally facing, meeting and engaging with supporters and individuals throughout the region to promote the Woodland Trust and the importance of gifts in wills and you must be able to travel frequently within the region and, at times, across the UK.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
There’s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Whatever you do here you will be supporting our work to protect and enhance woods and trees. In return we recognise and value our people.
