Summary

Like the climate and biodiversity crisis that World Land Trust is trying to tackle through protecting threatened habitats, we are at a pivotal point in our history.  With an ambitious strategic plan, we want to be more visible and even more engaging, but most importantly, we want to communicate our ambition through our story telling.  Our campaigns are one of the keys to our success and we are searching for the right people to fill several new positions within our Communications team, each with a different focus.  The Campaign Officer will use their creativity and passion for the written word to bring our campaigns vividly to life, increasing our following, and engaging with our audience of dedicated supporters.  This role offers a real opportunity for someone looking to make an impact, with the potential to develop in post as we continue to grow. 

Working with WLT

WLT is based in the UK and is unique within the conservation world. Reaching beyond its 30th year of operation the Trust has grown from small beginnings, saving critically threatened forest in Belize to become an internationally respected conservation organisation with a proven track record, working with more than 30 overseas conservation NGOs on protection of threatened habitats. WLT has developed its modus operandi without losing its vision, integrity and transparency.
