Full time: 35 hours per week Mondays to Fridays. This role includes participation in a rota for out-of-hours press office support, including evenings and weekends as required. Permanent contract. Closing date for applications: 31st May 2026 First interview: : 9th or 10th June (Online Interview) Second interview: To be confirmed (Online Interview) About Us The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work. Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts. The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities About You Are you looking for a new challenge? If you’re an experienced media relations professional looking to make a meaningful difference for nature, this is an exciting opportunity to join one of the UK’s best-loved nature charities. As a Senior Media Officer, you will play a key role in raising the profile of The Wildlife Trusts by promoting our work, campaigns and priorities across the national media. You’ll help shape public conversation, influence key stakeholders, and inspire action for nature’s recovery while building strategic relationships with national journalists and the media. You’ll also contribute to protecting and enhancing The Wildlife Trusts’ brand and reputation, ensuring our voice is trusted, influential and widely heard. Working within our small but highly effective national Media Relations team, you’ll play a key role in promoting The Wildlife Trusts and our work across national media outlets including print, online, TV and radio. Your work will help shape public opinion, influence decision-makers and inspire action for nature’s recovery, ensuring our stories reach a wide and diverse audience. About You From commentary on government policy and ambitious landscape recovery programmes, to highlighting the restoration of vital habitats - such as Britain’s lost rainforests - and showcasing community action for nature, you’ll help bring the breadth and impact of our work to life. You’ll do this through compelling press releases, media commentary, and by securing high-quality interview and filming opportunities. You will develop and maintain strategic relationships with national journalists and media outlets, while actively playing an important role in protecting and enhancing The Wildlife Trusts’ brand and reputation. We are looking for a creative and proactive media relations professional with excellent research, writing and editorial skills. You’ll have a track record of developing a range of news stories and features, and the confidence to pitch and place stories and commentary effectively with journalists and editors. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, varied environment where no two days are the same, bringing excellent organisational skills, resourcefulness and exceptional attention to detail. You’ll confidently manage inbound enquiries to our press office inbox, ensuring timely, accurate and professional responses, including outside of standard working hours. The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. We are passionate in promoting our aims, and we pride ourselves on being inclusive.
