As Partnerships Officer, you will be working hard to generate funds for an incredible, regional conservation charity via corporate support.

You will be able to share the work the Trust delivers across the area passionately and effectively with local businesses to secure investment in our new projects, the sustainability of our reserves and funding a future for wildlife.   

Your focus will be to raise core funds for the charity by growing our corporate membership, attracting sponsorship, and using innovative ways to develop partnerships with a wide range of businesses to support our work. This is a key role at the heart of our charity, supporting the Partnerships Manager in developing a green network of Northwest businesses, all joined by the same motives, to protect wildlife and tackle climate change. This role is an essential and integral part of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust team and is responsible for generating both restricted and unrestricted income to support the charity.

You will need to have the ambition to begin new relationships and nurture existing ones, whilst immersing yourself in our charitable objectives so you can represent the Trust with enthusiasm and conviction.

Our ideal candidate will have a passion for nature and wildlife, a drive to meet targets and the ability to think creatively about corporate engagement.

The position is full time, working 35 hours per week. Occasional work outside of regular office hours such as evenings and weekends will be occasionally required, though this should be infrequent.

We offer 28 days holidays plus bank holidays per annum, increasing with length of service. A friendly and flexible working environment with the chance to be a part of the largest nature conservation body in the area, working together to improve our region for nature as well as engaging and inspiring people to connect and take action for wildlife.
