About Us

The Wildlife Trusts are a
federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife
Trusts. Together we have over 900,000 members, 32,500 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. We
are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history, with the implementation of an ambitious new
strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural
processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive. 

Wildlife Trusts have restored
and care for some of the most special places for wildlife in the UK. Collectively we manage more
than 2,600 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. We
undertake research, we stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and we help people
access nature.

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 use and create data and evidence
to ensure that we act with the biggest impact possible for nature and people. 

About You

We are seeking a knowledgeable and enthusiastic data insights manager to help us make
the most of our existing data across The Wildlife Trusts, alongside developing new innovations to
improve understanding of our supporters, our contribution to nature’s recovery and the values that
the public place on nature.

We are looking for a skilled data specialist to help us to draw
together and take forward our data insights work across The Wildlife Trusts. Working directly to
the Director for Climate Change and Evidence, the postholder will lead on and manage our existing
large-scale data insights projects, including the Great Big Nature Survey (the largest UK-wide
survey of nature values); oversee our analysis of internal data collected across the federation of
Wildlife Trusts; and undertake data analysis of our external impact, from brand awareness to our
major public engagement programmes such as 30 Days’ Wild. In addition, the postholder will lead a
new programme of work on how to better understand our impact, and support the coordination of data
activities across relevant teams within the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. 

The Wildlife Trusts

from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement
