Wildlife Jobs
We’re looking for a Fundraising Administrator to support the Fundraising and Comms team at PTES. We have a great working environment at PTES and welcome someone who shares our passion for wildlife and want to grow our fundraising income to help wildlife have a brighter future. This person will be responsible for ensuring the smooth running of fundraising administration, including supporter services, help with financial administration and data processing, and an emphasis on our online shop.
Whether bats or beetles, hedgehogs or hammerhead sharks, we stand up for animals and their habitats. Alarmingly, in the UK almost two-thirds of species have declined in the last 50 years. Globally, around a quarter of mammals face extinction in the next three decades. This rate of loss can be stopped and that’s why People’s Trust for Endangered Species exists. For over nearly 50 years we’ve improved the outlook of endangered species in Britain and throughout the world.
Size: 21 - 50
We’ve been standing up for wildlife for nearly 50 years. We’re working to bring our most threatened species back from the brink.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!

Fixed term contract to 28th February 2025
Full-time / Part-time / Job share available
We have been awarded a significant grant from the Defra Trees Call to Action Fund for #Defra Heart of England: growing momentum, capacity, skills and trees. In partnership with Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick, and Wychavon District Councils, the Heart of England Forest is leading this three year project to engage with landowners and local communities to increase tree cover across the landscape. Working together to identify suitable areas for trees to be planted, facilitate tree planting, and support woodland maintenance, new woodlands will be created that benefit the environment, boost biodiversity, and provide havens for communities to enjoy.
We are looking for two candidates with widespread experience of project delivery and good team working skills. The successful candidates will work closely with project partners to engage with local communities and larger scale landowners to identify suitable areas for tree planting. Working with them to understand their needs, you will provide information on different types of planting and support them through the regulatory and funding process.
You will be passionate about landscape-scale conservation and the benefits this brings to both people and wildlife and have a demonstrable track record in successful team working.
The post will be based in the Heart of England Forest head office in Dorsington, but due to the nature of the project hybrid working will form part of the role. Each project delivery post has been assigned a particular geographic area – Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon or Wychavon district – and will be expected to travel extensively across their project area. However, both posts will contribute to delivery across the wider project area as applicable, working on a collaborative manner with the existing project team.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The Heart of England Forest is committed to encouraging equity, diversity and inclusion amongst our current and future workforce. We are a Disability Confident Employer and part of The Race Report, driving diversity in the environment sector. We want our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.

Interview date: Friday 26th July 202
