About Us

The Wildlife Trusts are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity,
the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT). Together we have 900,000 members, 32,500
volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. We are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history,
with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery,
with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people
and nature thrive.

Wildlife Trusts have restored and care for some of the most special places for wildlife in the
UK. Collectively we manage more than 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education
centres and own 29 working farms. We undertake research, we stand up for wildlife and wild
places under threat, and we help people access nature.

The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need
to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to
prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes
in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to
organise within their own communities.

About You

Do you want to help secure one of the UK’s best-loved nature charities against cyber security
threats? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you.

We’re looking for an Information Security Analyst to join the IT Team at the Royal Society of
Wildlife Trusts to protect data and systems from attack. You will promote and support
implementation of the Wildlife Trusts Cyber Security Framework within RSWT and across the
federation, provide information security expertise to Digital Transformation projects, work
with stakeholders across the federation to identify and raise awareness of risks, and work with
the IT team and third parties to respond to alerts, security incidents and managing
vulnerabilities.

You will be highly motivated and technically competent, a good communicator who enjoys working
with both technical and non-technical colleagues. You will work across the federation to raise
awareness and implementation of technical and policy controls from the Wildlife Trust Cyber
Security Framework. You will be aware of current and emerging information security threats in a
Microsoft cloud environment and the appropriate technical mitigations. Experience of
information security within the NGO sector is desirable but not essential.

You will have a clear interest in our cause and have excellent communication and collaboration
skills to help bring everyone together to ensure that we deliver to the highest standards and
achieve the best outcomes for nature.

The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength
