Operations Administrator

ABOUT US

The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity. We want to see a world
where trees and woods thrive for people and nature. The Trust engages and inspires people to
make their difference tackling the nature and climate crisis helping protect, restore and
create our vital woods and trees.

THE ROLE

Reporting to the Woodland Trust Operations Administration Team Leader, this key role will
support our largely out-posted teams providing a high quality, wide ranging administrative
support function facilitating effective use of corporate systems.

This is a Hybrid working role, where you’ll work part of your time at home and part of the time
from our Regional Office based in Perth, Scotland. Our Hybrid Working Policy is flexible and
the frequency of time spent in your contracted office will vary across teams and job roles. 

THE CANDIDATE

Passionate about our aims, you’ll have previous administrative experience from answering
queries via email and telephone to booking events and managing calendars. This is a busy, hands
on role, so you’ll need to be enthusiastic and proactive with a positive approach as well as
being able to prioritise a busy workload. 

You’ll be an excellent communicator and planner, with the ability to organise and manage a
varied and busy workload. Flexible, positive and a problem solver, you’ll also be discreet and
able to manage confidential information.

WHAT TO EXPECT BY JOINING A TEAM AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE

There’s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Joining the team you will be making your
contribution to tackling the nature and climate crisis. In return, we recognise and value our
people. You’ll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development,
along with a contributory pension, life assurance, good holiday allowance and the opportunity
to work flexibly from home. 

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY & INCLUSION 

At the Woodland Trust, we want to reflect and represent the full richness of diversity in the
UK. Fewer of our employees are Black, Asian or minority ethnic; disabled; from lower
socio-economic backgrounds or under 25; so we are particularly keen to receive your application
if you are from one or more of these groups. We can also discuss anything you may need to
achieve your full potential at any stage of the process. We assess your application solely on
your demonstrated suitability for the job. Nothing else.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable
applications. If you are interested, we’d encourage you to submit your application as early as
possible.
