As the Trust seeks to inspire more people to act for nature in their neighbourhoods, this a rare opportunity for an experienced

deliver Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s ambition for a wilder Yorkshire.
If you are a collaborative team player and an exceptional listener with a passion for nature and a strong commitment to mobilising
communities to bring about the change they want to see, hold a driving licence and are willing to drive as required within
