As the world’s largest independent conservation organisation, we are working to meet the triple challenge of restoring nature, tackling dangerous climate change and supporting sustainable development. If you have a good understanding of the government in the UK and Whitehall departments there has never been a more important time to join us and play your part in the fight for our world.

We are now recruiting a Public Sector Partnerships Coordinator to help develop and implement a new strategy for raising our profile and securing significant funds through public sector partnerships with the UK Government. We will look to you to build strong relationships across the organisation and the WWF network as well as work to identify public sector donors, map funds and advise on access points into Government and other public institutions. You will also help increase the numbers of contracts through progressing funding proposal submissions by assessing T&C’s, creating standard content and maintain records. Important too, will be the ability to keep stakeholders informed and up-to-date with activities and needs.

To succeed you will have a good understanding of the government in the UK and Whitehall departments as well as experience in the conservation, development or research fields. You will also have a background in the NGO or environmental sectors. You will possess sound knowledge of fundraising, or the ability to quickly learn the key aspects of the role.
