Job description

The Community Organiser will help nature recover by collaborating with and organising communities around shared issues and interests, facilitating them to take action for nature in a way that is most meaningful to them, ensuring that positive change is sustainable and systemic. The Community Organiser will build trusting relationships with a range of community groups and stakeholders, identifying and developing local leaders to enable sustainable community-led change for nature.
You'll be joining a small but cohesive team of community organisers working across the three counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. While we work largely independently in our own areas, we come together often to evaluate and reflect on our work, so that we can continue to develop and improve our craft of organising.

Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust

Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts working for wildlife across the UK.

We have a bold vision of a wilder Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, with more nature everywhere – for everyone – in towns and rural areas.

We all need nature – for clean water, food and fresh air - but nature needs us too. Our missionis to bring about nature’s recovery by inspiring and empowering local people and partners to help bring nature back.

To put nature into recovery, we need 30% of all land in our region properly managed for wildlife by 2030. And that’s good for our climate too.

By working together, we can create bigger, wilder, more connected landscapes across our three counties, so nature and people can thrive.
