Your skills needed to bring wildlife back to Cheshire

Your skills needed to bring wildlife back to Cheshire

Cheshire Wildlife Trust are currently looking for six new recruits to join their expanding team to bring wildlife back to the county.

The roles vary from an Admin and Accounts Assistant, to a Digital Marketing Officer, to a Land Management Officer. If you would like to use your skills and expertise to help the nature on your doorstep, they would love to hear from you.

Our natural world is in trouble: 80% of our carbon storing peatlands are damaged; 41% of our insects and pollinators are threatened with extinction; 50% of hedgehogs have been lost from our countryside; and 92% of seagrass beds have been lost around the UK.

However there is still hope. By managing 30% of our land and seas for nature by 2030, we can begin to turn the tide of the ecological and climate emergencies we now face. In Cheshire, 30% equates to doubling the space currently given to wildlife in the region. Double the amount of carbon and water storing trees in the ground. Double the amount of food for our bees and butterflies in wildflower meadows. And double the amount of clean and healthy waterways for our otters and water voles.

Could your talents help them to achieve this?

Darren Banks, Land Management Officer for the Trust says:

“I’ve been at Cheshire Wildlife Trust for coming up to 11 years this September. I first joined as the role matched my background in farming and countryside management. I’ve stayed for so long because of the variety of things I get to do and feeling part of a family. The best things about working for Cheshire Wildlife Trust are the people I get to work alongside each day, the job I do and the fact that it’s a flexible organisation; I have a great balance between work and my homelife and family commitments.”

Charlotte Harris, Chief Executive at Cheshire Wildlife Trust adds:

“Here at Cheshire Wildlife Trust we pride ourselves in creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. We offer great employee benefits, competitive salaries and personal development opportunities alongside a relaxed and inclusive culture.  You will benefit from working amongst a team who are passionate about nature and love making a difference.  In return for using your talents to help bring wildlife back we offer agile working for most roles and a wonderful office space set within a wildlife friendly farm.”
