Job description

About the Role

We are seeking a part-time Communications and Marketing Officer to join the Foundation during an exciting period of growth. You will work as part of a small team to deliver our fundraising strategy – by 2028 we aim to be raising £1 million a year to fund vital work in the National Park.

We are looking for a creative and proactive communicator who is passionate about the Peak District, its wildlife and its communities. You'll be someone who thrives in a small dynamic team and is confident working across digital platforms to tell compelling stories, engage supporters and grow our reach. You'll bring fresh ideas, a collaborative spirit, and a keen eye for detail – whether crafting social media content, managing campaigns, or supporting fundraising initiatives. This is a varied role that will work as part of a small team to ensure we raise the funds needed to support the Peak District to be enjoyed by everyone, forever.

Key Responsibilities

You will help to raise funds to:

• Protect our peatlands. The Park contains some of the most degraded upland peatland anywhere in Europe. We're working to restore Peak District blanket bogs and peatland back to health, conserving this vital carbon‑capturing habitat for the future.
• Restore habitats. Nature is in crisis even in our National Park. We're working to create bigger, better and more joined‑up habitats across the Peak District, supporting biodiversity and providing essential corridors for wildlife.
• Connect people and communities to nature. The more people who are connected to nature, the more people will want to protect it. We are working to ensure people of all ages and backgrounds have opportunities to experience and care for our National Park.
• Ensure access for everyone. There are over 1,600 miles of paths within the National Park. We're working to fund high‑quality path repair, improve access for people with disabilities and help more people enjoy their right to roam.
• Protect our cultural heritage. The Peak District landscape has been shaped by people. We're working to protect and conserve these irreplaceable heritage sites, from historic buildings and industrial structures to prehistoric features.

If you're enthusiastic about making a difference and helping protect and promote the UK's first National Park, we'd love to hear from you. We are open to individuals looking to transition from other sectors.

Benefits

• Two wellbeing days (pro‑ratio) – additional paid leave to support your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
• Enjoy your birthday as a paid day off.
• Two days volunteer leave per year (and access to volunteer opportunities inside the Park).
• Flexible working – we support hybrid and adaptable hours to suit your lifestyle.
• Family‑friendly policies – flexible hours and a culture of listening and support.
• Getting to work in and around our beautiful Peak District National Park.
