Avon Needs Trees has a corporate partnerships programme with some strong partners and most excitingly, a lot of interest from dynamic & established companies.

You will join a fast-growing organisation that started in 2019 with four volunteers and has grown to a staff team of twenty (with more recruitment in the pipeline for 2024), over 1,000 volunteers and ownership of nearly 600 acres of land that will grow woodlands of over 160,000 trees. 

We are looking for an individual who can come in to review our current offering, help develop and shape a sector leading proposition for companies, develop new relationships and lead on exceptional account management. 

Corporates are one of the key areas of focus for our new fundraising strategy, released in September 2024 where we are aiming to build up a specialism in a smaller number of fundraising channels where we feel we have natural strengths and see opportunity. There is also the opportunity to get involved with other forms of fundraising, in particular the coordination of our major donor programme.

While Avon Needs Tress is a charity, the role would also suit someone from the commercial sector with relevant skill sets of account management and new business acquisition who is looking to move into the social and environmental impact space.

Your legacy will be a tangible impact on slowing down climate change, helping nature recover and creating social impact by initiating and developing enduring relationships with corporate partners.
