Trustee

Could you become a Trustee and help to make a Wilder Hertfordshire and Middlesex?

The Trust is committed to seeing more land in recovery for nature and more people taking action for wildlife. We recognise the importance of a healthy natural environment to people’s wellbeing and to addressing climate impacts. 

The need for the Trust to stand up for wildlife is as important as ever, and crucial to this is that we support and look after our staff team. 

We are looking for two new Trustees to join our Board. We would particularly like to hear from people who have experience in: human resources, including recruitment, diversity and inclusion, retention and performance management; ecology; environmental financing initiatives such as carbon credits, sustainable land management grants or biodiversity net gain; or charity fundraising.  

You will need to have a passion for ensuring a positive future for wildlife, and be able to think strategically. As a Trustee you oversee our strategy, risk management and financial sustainability, and will be an advocate for the Trust.  You will provide advice and support to the dedicated and highly skilled staff team who run the organisation day-to-day. 

As a minimum you will need to attend quarterly Board and Committee meetings and the AGM. Trustees can be appointed for up to three consecutive three-year terms. This is a voluntary role but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed. 

We are a welcoming and open organisation, committed to the principles of Equality Diversity and Inclusion. While all applications will be considered on merit, we would strongly encourage anyone from a minority background to consider applying as we need all perspectives if we are to succeed in our mission. 

If you’d like to help make a difference for wildlife in Herts and Middlesex as one of our Trustees, please contact Becky at becky.vernon-clinch@hmwt.org for an information pack.

Closing date: 9am on Monday 14 April 

Interviews will be held on Wednesday 14 May
