Company Description
We would love you to join us in being part of the Durrell team.
As a leading conservation organisation, we have an important job in saving species from extinction and creating a wilder, healthier, more colourful world.
It takes a great team to save wildlife and we need a wide range of skills to make it happen. Everyone at Durrell plays their part – whether they deliver conservation initiatives, engage with our supporters, promote our brand, or look after our people.
Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is an international conservation charity, headquartered at Jersey Zoo in the Channel Islands, working to save species from extinction through "intensive care" breeding of threatened species across the globe, rewilding of ecosystems, and the training of the next generation of conservation heroes. Durrell leads some of the world’s longest running and most successful species and habitat recovery programmes.
Established by author and conservationist Gerald Durrell in 1959, Durrell’s aim is for more diverse and resilient natural landscapes in which species can thrive and people can enjoy a deeper connection with nature.
Durrell delivers its conservation mission through our three integrated core areas of operation:
•Field Programmes: conservation action where it is needed most.
•Conservation Knowledge: training future conservation practitioners, enabling people to more closely connect with nature, delivering the science guiding Durrell’s mission and measuring our impacts.
•Jersey Zoo: a centre of excellence in animal husbandry, research, training, and education.
With a track record of more than 50 years, Durrell leads some of the world’s longest running and most successful species and habitat recovery programmes. The quality of our work is equally as important as how we deliver it. Our values underpin how we approach our work and the work environment we create.
Position
Durrell is looking to recruit three Trustees with skills in:
(i)Human Resources
(ii)Legal
(iii)Public Affairs Communications
The positions will report to the Board Chair.
Volunteering as a trustee is a rewarding opportunity to use your skills, experience and insight to make a meaningful difference, shaping strategies that protect biodiversity and becoming part of an impactful conservation institution.
Trustees attend Board meetings held quarterly in Jersey. We value the depth of connection that comes from meeting in person, while recognising the importance of flexibility through virtual attendance.
As a trustee, you will:
·Safeguard the charity’s mission and values, helping ensure it is well governed, compliant and able to thrive for the long term.
·Help shape the future, contributing your insight and judgement to strategic decisions that guide the charity’s direction and impact.
·Provide thoughtful oversight, supporting the responsible and effective use of resources.
·Be a powerful advocate, championing the charity’s work, purpose and values and helping extend its reach within the community.
This is an opportunity to step back from day‑to‑day delivery and contribute at a strategic level, offering challenge, encouragement and guidance, while being part of a committed board united by a shared belief in Durrell’s work.
If you would like to support our mission and vital conservation work, then we would love to hear from you.

Job description
Executive Director
The Longest Yarn
Flexible
Initially Voluntary Basis with Expenses Covered to be based in the U.K.
About The Longest Yarn
The Longest Yarn is an internationally recognised knitted and crocheted exhibition project preserving wartime stories through immersive textile art, historical interpretation and community participation. Registered as an Association in France since 2023 with CIO pending in U.K.
Having toured extensively across the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States, The Longest Yarn now consists of two major exhibitions.
One exhibition, The Longest Yarn: Britain at War, is based in the United Kingdom and is already booked to tour major cathedrals and other significant venues through to 2028.
The original D-Day exhibition now has its permanent home in Normandy near the landing beaches, where it is exhibited for approximately six months of the year, with the flexibility to tour across the UK or Europe during the winter months.
Together, the exhibitions continue to grow as a major international remembrance and heritage initiative.
Founded as a simple project combining creativity, education, remembrance, community involvement and support for veteran causes through large-scale public exhibitions and events, The Longest Yarn rapidly exceeded all expectations, attracting more than 500,000 visitors within just 23 months.
We are currently working with several veteran charities, including one major initiative helping to provide a home for a homeless veteran living with PTSD. Developing and expanding our support for veteran causes remains an important part of the future vision for The Longest Yarn.
The Role
Could You Help the Founder Build The Next Chapter?
Over 500,000 people have now visited .
What started as a slightly bonkers knitted D-Day idea has grown into:
- a permanent Normandy exhibition
- a second UK touring exhibition
- veteran partnerships
- media attention worldwide
- and more opportunities than one person can realistically manage alone.
We are beginning the search for somebody to help build this properly for the future.
This may suit somebody from:
- military or veteran backgrounds
- tourism or events
- heritage or museums
- operations or logistics
- volunteer coordination
- charity or project management
Most importantly — you need to believe in people, possibility, and what this project represents.
Initially this is about finding the right person and exploring what the role could become over time.
Reporting Structure
The Executive Director will report directly to:
- Founder & Creative Director
- The Board of Trustees
To Apply
If it sparks your interest, please apply with your CV and we can organise an informal chat with the Founder and Creative Director.
