Community Engagement Officer

Are you committed to supporting community powered change and facilitating local action?
Can you use communication as a tool to listen, connect, reach and motivate people within a
community? Are you able to capture the passion, imagination and resources of the people within
a community to create a community nature reserve? If so, this could be the job for
you…

The Wildlife Trusts are working to facilitate nature’s recovery within the communities we work
alongside, and we know that if nature is to be restored at scale, we need many more people on
nature’s side. This role will enable you to make a real difference to nature’s recovery and to
be part of our vision to protect 30% of land and sea by 3030.

We are looking for a talented community organiser to work with Avon Wildlife Trust on a
partnership project with South Gloucestershire Council. You will need to be highly personable,
passionate and organised. From people’s gardens to public green spaces, you will engage and
empower communities to create Community Nature Reserves that link to wildlife habitats and
species in Warmley to form part of a Nature Action Zone.

Avon Wildlife Trust is a charity dedicated to working with local people for local wildlife,
covering the West of England region (former county of Avon). It is supported by more than
17,500 members, manages over 30 nature reserves and is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK.

The Wildlife Trusts value diversity. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises
and truly values individual differences and identities. We actively encourage applications from
people of all backgrounds and cultures.
