Company Description
We would love you to join us in being part of the Durrell team.
As a leading conservation organisation, we have an important job in saving species from extinction and creating a wilder, healthier, more colourful world.
It takes a great team to save wildlife and we need a wide range of skills to make it happen. Everyone at Durrell plays their part – whether they deliver conservation initiatives, engage with our supporters, promote our brand, or look after our people.
Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is an international conservation charity, headquartered at Jersey Zoo in the Channel Islands, working to save species from extinction through "intensive care" breeding of threatened species across the globe, rewilding of ecosystems, and the training of the next generation of conservation heroes. Durrell leads some of the world’s longest running and most successful species and habitat recovery programmes.
Established by author and conservationist Gerald Durrell in 1959, Durrell’s aim is for more diverse and resilient natural landscapes in which species can thrive and people can enjoy a deeper connection with nature.
Durrell delivers its conservation mission through our three integrated core areas of operation:
•Field Programmes: conservation action where it is needed most.
•Conservation Knowledge: training future conservation practitioners, enabling people to more closely connect with nature, delivering the science guiding Durrell’s mission and measuring our impacts.
•Jersey Zoo: a centre of excellence in animal husbandry, research, training, and education.
With a track record of more than 50 years, Durrell leads some of the world’s longest running and most successful species and habitat recovery programmes. The quality of our work is equally as important as how we deliver it. Our values underpin how we approach our work and the work environment we create.
Position
Durrell is looking to recruit three Trustees with skills in:
(i)Human Resources
(ii)Legal
(iii)Public Affairs Communications
The positions will report to the Board Chair.
Volunteering as a trustee is a rewarding opportunity to use your skills, experience and insight to make a meaningful difference, shaping strategies that protect biodiversity and becoming part of an impactful conservation institution.

·Provide thoughtful oversight, supporting the responsible and effective use of resources.
·Be a powerful advocate, championing the charity’s work, purpose and values and helping extend its reach within the community.
This is an opportunity to step back from day‑to‑day delivery and contribute at a strategic level, offering challenge, encouragement and guidance, while being part of a committed board united by a shared belief in Durrell’s work.

HELLO SUNSHINE!!!
SUNSHINE exists because loneliness is not just an issue — it is a crisis that is quietly affecting thousands of people across London. Too many people are living without meaningful human connection, and the impact can be devastating.
SUNSHINE was founded to change that by creating warmth, belonging, friendship and hope for those who need it most.
Inspired by real lived experience, SUNSHINE is a charity built on compassion, community and action. We want to build something truly transformational: a charity that helps people feel seen, valued and connected, while creating lasting change across London and, in time, across England and Wales.

We are seeking Charity Management Volunteers who can bring energy, initiative, organisation and a genuine belief in SUNSHINE’s mission.
You will work closely with the Founder to help guide the charity’s development, strengthen its operations, and support the delivery of our vision, mission and objectives.
This is not simply an admin role — it is an opportunity to be a key figurehead within SUNSHINE, helping to build a strong, credible, values-led charity that can achieve huge success and make a real difference to people’s lives.

Supporting the development of systems, processes and governance.
Acting as a positive ambassador for the charity and its mission.
Helping to build a strong, motivated and united team around SUNSHINE’s goals.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for people who are:
Passionate about SUNSHINE’s mission and the importance of tackling loneliness.
Calm, reliable, proactive and able to work well with others.
Organised, thoughtful and able to help bring structure and momentum.
Comfortable contributing ideas, taking responsibility and helping solve problems.
Able to support the Founder while also bringing their own leadership, initiative and judgement.
Committed to making a positive difference through compassionate, purposeful charity leadership.
Why this matters
SUNSHINE is more than a charity — it is a movement for connection, dignity and hope.
By joining us at this early stage, you will help build the foundations of a charity that can change lives, strengthen communities and bring people back into connection with one another.
Your support will help SUNSHINE grow into a trusted, inspiring and impactful organisation that can make a lasting difference across London and beyond.
When applying, please tell us:
What your management style is like.
How you could help SUNSHINE Charity.
What experience, qualities or strengths you would bring to the role.
Why SUNSHINE’s mission matters to you.
What you’ll gain

In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.
