Synchronicity Earth

Who we are

Synchronicity Earth aims to be a different kind of conservation organisation. We are research-driven, raising and distributing donor funding to the conservation sector. To increase the impact of this funding, we develop programmes, collaborating with others to coordinate action. We are in this for the long haul – we know the changes we want to see will not happen overnight and so we develop lasting relationships with our partners and encourage donors to move beyond short-term project cycles.

We want to help create a global network of conservation allies. The work we do helps to bring about meaningful change for endangered species and vulnerable ecosystems and has a positive impact on the livelihoods of often marginalised communities. Conservation depends on people, but should benefit all life. Through our partners we work in areas where there is an urgent need for conservation action, developing programmes which make a difference to species, habitats and local people.

Our culture and values

Our Values

We do our best to live up to our values and to ensure we constantly reflect, learn, and evolve in relation to them. The values below are deeply embedded in the work we do and the relationships we hold:

Trust

Our relationships are based on trust, listening to, and respecting the views of others, whilst recognising the limitations of our own knowledge and world views. We do our best to nurture trusting relationships with everyone we work with, especially our partners, to understand their needs and provide flexible, long-term support to help them achieve impact.

Flexibility

In all the work we do, we aim to be collaborative and open to sharing ideas, resources, and knowledge, working closely with others to amplify impact. We are constantly learning, reflecting on what works and what does not. We are not afraid to change direction if we believe that by doing so, we can have greater impact, and we also understand that our partners and donors sometimes need to do the same.

Fairness

Ecosystems derive much of their resilience and strength from their diversity: in a similar way, the practice of conservation itself becomes stronger and more resilient when it embraces diverse peoples, ideas, voices, and approaches. We are committed to building a more equitable and inclusive conservation sector.

Care

Central to our work is the simple act of caring. We care for our environment, for the intrinsic value of nature, for the relationships we nurture and the people we grow close to in our work: our colleagues, partners, supporters, and the communities we serve. Connected as we all are to nature – whether we realise it or not – and the people around us, we have a duty of care, both to future generations, and to our only home, the natural world that sustains us.

Creativity

The complexity of the challenges we face calls for creative and imaginative responses. We innovate, constantly exploring new areas and spaces in which we can build support for a stronger movement in favour of biological and cultural diversity. We connect cultural champions, forward-thinking businesses, and philanthropists to help address the challenges of conservation in the world’s most biodiverse and threatened regions.

Flourishing Diversity

Together our Vision, Mission, and Values seek the flourishing of diversity in every domain: in our collaborations, our team and our partners, in the landscapes we work in and in the range of approaches we take to supporting people and the multitude of species they share their places with, so that together we can flourish into the future.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds for this role, particularly non-graduates, and are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements.
