Could you be the talented Governance and Executive Support Officer we’re looking to welcome into our small, friendly nature charity? Working with our Board of Trustees, CEO and Senior Management Team, you’ll play a part in protecting and restoring UK wildlife, while advancing your career in the fast-growing ‘nature and climate’ space.
The NBN Trust is a nature charity with a difference. Our mission is “making data work for nature”. “Data??? That’s a bit niche!”, I hear you say. And you’re right – but it’s a vitally important niche. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth and, if we’re to stand any hope of fixing it, we’re going to need data. Lots of data. “What gets measured gets done”, as the saying goes. We need to understand what we’ve lost and what remains. We need to set targets for nature’s recovery. And we need to measure success as nature turns the corner and starts to make a comeback.
That’s where the NBN Trust comes in. We support the entire UK conservation movement by providing public access to the wildlife data that’s needed to make good decisions for nature. We’re a conservation charity, tech charity and people charity rolled into one – a unique combination! Could we be your next career move?
Our health and impact as a charity depend on sound governance and effective management. Through the recent restructure and expansion of our Finance and Operations team, we have created the new role of Governance and Executive Support Officer to underpin both these vital areas.
The key responsibilities will be:
- Co-ordinating communication with the Board of Trustees and supporting effective governance.
- Providing administrative support to the CEO and Senior Management Team.
- Contributing to the NBN Trust being a great place to work.
We’re a 100% remote-working charity, so you’ll need to be comfortable and effective working from home. The whole team meets up four times a year for in-person team meetings (in London and other locations around the UK).
We’re an equal opportunities and Living Wage employer. We welcome all applicants, and we’re striving to create an inclusive and diverse team. If you’re interested in joining us, please read the Job Pack and get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to ask.
