About us
Who we are
The National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Trust is a small charity with a big plan – to make data work for nature. For more than twenty years we’ve been making biodiversity data accessible, to support better decisions about the natural world and to connect people with nature.
Our culture and values
Living our values
We’re passionate about the Trust being a great place to work. We believe that we’re all at our most productive and creative when we’re happy, motivated and growing in our roles. As a team, we’re continually listening, learning and reviewing what we can do to support this.
Our values, created by the team, are:
· We have Integrity – We are open and honest in our work and acknowledge our mistakes in order to learn and grow.
· We are Trusting – We are reliable and believe in each other.
· We are Collaborative – We work in a flexible, supportive and approachable manner and work as a unified team.
· We are Resilient – We show commitment and challenge ourselves, and we act in a sustainable and ethical manner.
· We are Respectful – We are positive, kind, and fair in our actions.
· We are Customer focused – We use our individual and group expertise to ensure a quality service for our customers, stakeholders and beneficiaries.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We want to make a career in nature conservation accessible to everyone. We welcome all applicants, and we're striving to create an inclusive team. We’re proud to have signed Wildlife and Countryside Link’s Diversity and Anti-Racism Statement and to be working with partners from across the environmental sector to advance equality, diversity and inclusion, including through the Route Map towards Greater Ethnic Diversity.
We’re really into health and wellbeing, and we’re conscious that it’s harder to look out for each other when working remotely. Currently one-third of our team members are trained in Mental Health First Aid, and we subscribe to a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, so there’s always someone for you to talk to if you’re needing support.
