The world is waking up to the power of nature rich wetlands. 

Our natural world is in trouble. But, at WWT, we know there is a wondrous solution. You will find it wherever water meets land.In this incredible space lies a solution to a climate in crisis and biodiversity being in freefall. Not only do 40% of the world’s wildlife depend on wetlands, but our lives do too.

But we are losing wetlands at a staggering rate. These wildlife-teeming, flood-buffering, water-purifying, mood-lifting, carbon-sinking habitats need our help. 

That is why, here at WWT, we are on a mission to restore wetlands and empower everyone to do the same. Taking direct action to bring wetlands back to life and inspiring and empowering everyone to do just the same.

This is your chance to capture that societal awakening and turn it into tangible action for our world.  This is also a pivotal time for WWT as we implement our strategy – Wetlands are the Way 2030.

To realise this vision, we are seeking a Director of Wetland Conservation who can grow our impact, inspire our people, collaborate with partners and work with communities to deliver wetland restoration at a scale not seen before.

Reporting to the Chief Executive and part of the Executive Leadership Team, you will lead a team of wetland and species experts and an ambitious directorate, with c.70 FTE, 4 direct reports and an expenditure budget of c. £5 million.

You will be a great communicator and collaborator, someone who is able to prioritise for impact, provide assurance on risk and quality whilst creating innovation for change. You will bring a strong business head to improve our effectiveness and be bold in partnerships, resourcing and funding for this work.

If you are such a leader please consider joining us and developing the next stage of our work to restore wetlands at scale and pace, always in partnership and always grounded in science. We look forward to hearing from you!

For more details please see the application details attached. Closing date is 19th August.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

About the role

We're looking for an organised, proactive and highly professional Personal Assistant to support our Chief Executive in a pivotal role at the heart of East Anglian Air Ambulance.

This is far more than diary management. You'll be the person who keeps the Chief Executive's office running smoothly, bringing structure, organisation and oversight to a busy and varied workload. Working closely with the Chief Executive, Executive Team and Board of Trustees, you'll help ensure priorities are managed effectively, governance responsibilities are delivered and important projects continue to move forward.

You'll coordinate meetings and governance activity, prepare briefings and correspondence, manage competing priorities and ensure actions are followed through to completion. You'll also play a key role in supporting our Trustees, helping to maintain governance records and acting as a trusted point of contact for colleagues across the charity.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys building strong relationships, working with senior stakeholders and bringing calm organisation to a fast-paced environment. You'll be trusted with highly confidential information, expected to use sound judgement and encouraged to identify better ways of working that support both the Chief Executive and the wider organisation.

You'll already have experience supporting senior leaders in an administrative, executive assistant or governance-focused role and be confident managing multiple priorities while maintaining excellent attention to detail. You'll be a strong communicator, capable of building effective relationships with colleagues, Trustees and external stakeholders, and comfortable drafting professional correspondence on behalf of senior leaders.

We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:

• Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and building trusted relationships
• Strong Microsoft Office skills
• A full UK driving licence and the ability to travel across East Anglia when required

This role will be worked a minimum of 3 days a week from our Norwich (or Cambridge, on occasion) office and up to 2 days a week from home. The exact days worked in the office will be agreed with the successful candidate, but you must live within a commutable distance of Norwich.

Closing Date: Wednesday 19th August (9am)
Interview Date: Wednesday 26th August (Helimed House, Norwich)

Who we are

Coeliac UK is the UK’s only charity for people affected by coeliac disease and everyone who needs to live gluten-free. We provide trusted information and support, champion better diagnosis, improve access to safe gluten free food, and drive the research and advocacy needed to improve lives today while moving closer to a cure.

Our mission is clear: no life should be limited by coeliac disease. Every role at Coeliac UK contributes to that purpose, whether through diagnosis and equality, support and access, research and advocacy, or the enabling work that helps our teams deliver lasting change for our members and beneficiaries.

About the role

This is an amazing opportunity to lead one of the UK’s most respected health charities through a period of transformation. Coeliac UK has a clear strategic direction, an ambitious and engaged Board, an outstanding reputation across healthcare, research and industry, and a passionate team committed to improving the lives of people affected by coeliac disease. The next Chief Executive won’t be asked to write another strategy; they will bring it to life.

As Chief Executive, you will lead the organisation, creating the pace, focus and momentum needed to turn ambition into lasting impact. You will unite and inspire people behind a shared vision, strengthen organisational performance, build a high-performing and collaborative culture, diversify income, and ensure Coeliac UK is financially resilient for the future. At the same time, you will elevate the charity’s influence, championing the needs of people affected by coeliac disease with government, the NHS, researchers, industry and partners. This is an opportunity to shape the future of an organisation with enormous potential; leading meaningful change, embracing innovation and ensuring Coeliac UK has an even greater impact for generations to come.

We are looking for an inspiring, emotionally intelligent and values-led leader with a proven track record of delivering organisational transformation. Whether your experience has been gained within the charity sector, a membership organisation, healthcare, public service or another purpose-led environment, you will bring the ability to turn strategy into action and lead people through change with confidence and compassion.

You will have a strong commercial and strategic mindset, with experience of strengthening financial sustainability through income growth, partnerships or innovation, alongside the credibility to represent Coeliac UK with government, the NHS, researchers, industry and supporters.

Just as importantly, you will be an authentic and visible leader who builds trust, develops high-performing teams, embraces accountability and creates an inclusive culture where people can thrive. You don’t need a personal connection to coeliac disease or previous CEO experience, but you will bring a genuine passion for the charity’s mission and the determination to help Coeliac UK realise its considerable potential.
