About the organisation

The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) is the leading charitable organisation promoting the enjoyment, study and conservation of wild plants in Britain and Ireland. We aim to build a diverse community of skilled and enthused botanists, provide data and science to help address biodiversity loss and climate change and disseminate information to drive a passion for plants. To do this we provide opportunities for involvement for all through a range of participation projects, surveys, indoor and outdoor events, training opportunities and the production of books and other resources. Our Distribution Database (DDb) holds over 50 million plant records, making it one of the world’s largest biological recording databases and in March 2023 we published the third Plant Atlas, mapping changes in the distribution of British and Irish flora. Our latest organisational Strategy, available on our website, describes our future plans. 

About the role

An exciting opportunity has arisen to become the first Administration Officer for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland. The charity and our membership and activities have grown rapidly over the last five years through two rounds of strategic change. There is continued strong demand for our data, expertise and skills, creating opportunities to develop our projects and partnerships. We need excellent administration in place  to ensure we are deploying our capacity and resources in the best way to support the Society and our members and to advance the understanding and appreciation of wild plants.
