Cornwall Wildlife Trust is seeking passionate and committed Trustees to help shape the future of conservation in Cornwall.

We are looking for up to three new trustees with skills, knowledge and senior level experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Conservation and environmental land management, particularly in relation to practical conservation activities and the engagement of diverse stakeholders in the delivery of our nature recovery vision, and with a critical understanding of the challenges and opportunities that face Cornwall’s nature conservation sector.
• Leadership and management involving responsibilities in areas such as financial control, governance and compliance, and advocacy and representation in either the private, public or not-for-profit sectors.
• Commercial/business sector development and income generation.

Our trustees/directors work collectively as a Board with responsibility for governing and directing how the Trust is managed and run. The roles are voluntary and unpaid and whilst prior experience of the trustee role is not required (and training is available) we are looking for people who are willing and able to commit time to both a programme of regular meetings and ongoing engagement in a range of Board activities.  

Diversity within our Trustees group is essential. As a progressive charitable organisation, we champion equal opportunities and welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of any protected characteristic.    

For more information, please see the attached recruitment pack. 

Prior to application, we invite interested candidates to arrange an informal discussion with Oliver Blount, Chair of the Board.

To arrange an informal discussion about these roles please contact Joanne Greaves, Head of People & Culture at joanne.greaves@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk

Following this, applications for appointment to our Board should be made in the form of your CV and a covering letter sent to recruitment@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk by midnight on the 28 February 2025.

We look forward to hearing from you.
