Summary
Job Advert
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint an Events &
Experiences Officer to join the team at our Potteric Carr nature reserve. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the development
of engaging, wildlife-focused events and visitor experiences that inspire support for nature and help us grow the reach and impact
of our work.
In this rewarding role you will plan, promote and deliver a high-quality, year-round commercial events programme (ranging from
regular guided walks to large-scale festivals) that raises awareness of Potteric Carr, drives footfall and generates vital income
for the Trust. You’ll monitor and evaluate engagement activities to ensure we consistently deliver impactful, financially
sustainable experiences; nurture a team of volunteers to enhance visitor engagement; collaborate with operational teams to craft
exciting wildlife-watching opportunities; and build relationships with new and existing partners and suppliers to diversify and
strengthen our offer.
We’re looking for someone who will bring a wealth of experience in planning and delivering public-facing events, ideally in
outdoor or visitor attraction settings. You’ll be a creative communicator with the ability to inspire diverse audiences, build
partnerships, and manage resources effectively - including volunteers. You’ll also be a team player and willing to work flexibly
to support the delivery of our broader engagement programme. Knowledge of community or environmental engagement, along with a
passion for wildlife conservation and delivering exceptional visitor experiences, will ensure success in this role.

relevant knowledge, skills and experience aligned to the Person Specification within the Job Description. Please be aware that if

want our people to flourish, just like nature.
