About Us
Our host organization are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Together they have 870,000 members, 38,000 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. They are at an exciting moment in their 110-year history, with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.
Collectively, The Wildlife Trusts have more than 900,000 members, employ 3,500 staff, look after over 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. They undertake research, they stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and they help people access nature.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we will all live in. We need to reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale as a matter of urgency if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. This will require big, bold changes in the way we think and operate, and the development of a strong, collaborative culture. It will require key stakeholders and the public to take action for nature’s recovery.
About You
Can you use your expert media relations and proven line management skills to help put nature into recovery with one of the UK’s best-loved environmental charities?
The Trusts’ small, but brilliant national media team creates billions of opportunities to ‘see’ their work in print, radio, online and on screen each year: from their commentary on Government policy to stories about their work on the ground, our interviews, quotes, videos and press releases are used in national and international stories as varied as action on peat to whale sightings. They regularly appear on BBC Countryfile, Springwatch and BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, as well as in international media such as National Geographic, Times of India and Washington Post. In 2023 alone, the team achieved c.43,000 appearances in the national media and a reach of over 530 billion opportunities to see. This coverage ensured that thry remain at the heart of the national conversation on why they need nature.
But they’re not standing still because the nature and climate crises demand greater and more urgent action. They’re therefore looking for a resourceful and strategic thinker who can exploit new opportunities for The Trusts to continue to raise their profile and use their communications to drive greater awareness of and engagement with the things that need to happen to turn things round.
This is a senior role and they’re looking for an experienced media manager with an excellent track record in media relations for high profile organisations, who can confidently deal with high-profile reactive media as well as developing and delivering evidence-based creative, innovative media strategies. You will be leading a small media team, so line management experience is essential to ensure the consistent delivery of high-profile, high-impact media activity, supervising the team’s research, writing and editing. Working alongside the Head of Media you will build an environment where your team can continuously develop to be their best and have space to innovate and find new channels to reach broader audiences with our messages. In particular, they are keen to do more to highlight the role of people power (community organising) in nature’s recovery.
You will have significant previous experience of generating compelling news stories and features, and ideally you will have been involved in publicising policy and campaigns. There is never a dull moment and you will need to thrive working in an extremely fast-paced environment where organisational skills, prioritisation and attention to detail are a must.
The Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst they are passionate in promoting their aims, they are not judgemental and are inclusive. They particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. They are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.
