Trustees
We are seeking new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the next phase of our growth and impact. We welcome applications from candidates who are committed to actively supporting us in our mission to restore habitats, conserve birds of prey and make wildlife education accessible to all.
We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in:
- marketing and communications
- managing a visitor centre or attraction
However, we warmly welcome applications from anyone with an interest in conservation and wildlife.
Commitment:
The Board of Trustees meets six times a year, usually in the evening, at or near The Bird of Prey Project, Newton St. Loe, Bath. Attendance via video conferencing is also supported. In addition, Trustees collaborate with the Charity Manager and at times other staff members on an ad hoc basis to help achieve the charity’s aims and objectives.
This is a voluntary, unpaid position offering a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to the future of birds of prey and their habitats.
How to apply:
Please send your CV and a covering letter (maximum 500 words) outlining why you would like to become a Trustee at The Bird of Prey Project to manager@birdofpreyproject.org.
