Following 13 highly successful years our current CEO, Liz Ballard, has decided to step down. As we celebrate our 40th year, we are seeking a dynamic and visionary leader to take forward our ambitious strategy for nature and people. The Trust has been a key player in local conservation efforts since 1985, and we continue to lead vital work across Rotherham and Sheffield. Our diverse nature reserves, local wildlife conservation initiatives, and community engagement programmes are just a few examples of the important role we play in shaping a sustainable future for both people and wildlife.

The role of CEO offers a unique opportunity to lead a passionate team and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, from local communities to policymakers and businesses. We’re looking for someone who understands the challenges and opportunities for a wildlife charity today, has a track record of strong leadership, and shares our deep commitment to safeguarding nature for future generations.

We are looking for a leader who can inspire, collaborate, and motivate others to take action in support of our vision. If you are driven by the belief that nature should be accessible to all, and that we have a responsibility to protect and restore it, we encourage you to consider applying for this important role.

We are seeking a strategic, business minded leader with a strong background in organisational development. You will have experience leading cross-functional teams, streamlining systems for efficiency, and securing funding through large scale, strategic funding bids, grant applications and philanthropic income. You will need to have a good understanding of the environment sector and up to date knowledge of the programmes, policies and drivers in which the organisation operates. Our Trust is home to passionate and knowledgeable specialists dedicated to making an impact—we want you to empower and support them to achieve their best and be ready to lead with vision and drive
