Regional Community Organiser at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust

Warwickshire Wildlife Trust has an ambitious ten-year strategy. By 2030 we want to have put wildlife into recovery by creating more space for nature with more people on nature’s side.

Our members, staff, volunteers, champions, supporters, visitors and advocates are already part of a growing movement of individuals standing up for nature. However, we know though that for the scales to shift further wildlife needs even more people to be acting in support of nature because, while public concern about the environment is at an all-time high, behaviour change is lagging far behind. Science shows that when 25% of people act this is enough to change the minds and behaviour of the majority so we have set ourselves the ambitious target of helping 1 in 4 people in Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull to take action for wildlife and become part of Team Wilder.

Team Wilder is built on five key principles: nature connectedness, learning and skills, behaviour change, empowerment, action, and movement building. These principles guide our approach to inspiring more people to take action for nature. As part of the Team Wilder directorate, you’ll be at the heart of movement building; bringing people together to create significant change for nature that no one person or institution can solve alone. You’ll be part of creating a powerful, self-organising movement for nature recovery which thrives across Warwickshire, Coventry, and Solihull - driven by volunteer leaders, community-led campaigns, and broad-based coalitions.

This role is part of the Wilder Organising team and focuses on building movement infrastructure across under-served or emerging areas of Warwickshire, with a particular emphasis on rural communities, villages, and new localities not yet covered by our place-based organisers. The postholder will organise regionally, with a focus on developing grassroots leadership, activating local groups, and creating the foundations for long-term distributed organising.
