Trustees
Help shape the future of our National Parks
We’re looking for 2-3 new Trustees to join our Board and help secure the future of National Parks across England and Wales.
For 75 years, we have challenged decision-makers, influenced national policy and brought people together in support of National Parks that are richer in nature and welcoming to everyone. But these special places need dynamic voices, fresh thinking, differing perspectives and ambitious leadership if they are to thrive into the future.
As we enter the next phase of our work, we are seeking new Trustees who can bring new perspectives, constructive challenge, and experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Advocacy, raising profile through social media, communications, public affairs, campaigning, or external engagement
- Business acumen and long-term financial sustainability
- Strategic fundraising, particularly individual giving and philanthropy
We particularly welcome individuals with experience of working with under-represented communities, championing social justice, or helping organisations advance anti-racism, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Previous Trustee experience is not essential, and first-time Trustees will receive a comprehensive induction and support.
The voluntary role requires a commitment of approximately 1 day per month. Meetings are held online, in London and in National Parks, and reasonable agreed expenses will be reimbursed.
Closing date: 7 December 2026

The team in the South Downs
WORK WITH US – FOR WILDER, INCLUSIVE NATIONAL PARKS
We are the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales. Our independence from government means we can speak out for Protected Landscapes when no-one else can. Our mission is clear: we’re here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action and enjoy wilder National Parks.
We recognise that the environment sector is under-represented by people of colour, those from low income backgrounds, LGBTQ+ and disabled people and we want to change that. So, we especially welcome candidates from these backgrounds and operate ‘blind recruitment’, following best practice in equality, diversity and inclusion.
Work/life balance is really important to us and everyone in our team has a flexible working arrangement so that our work fits in with our lives. We offer: home working, support including an Employee Assistant Programme, and enhanced holiday allowance and pension contributions. Above all, by joining our team you can make a big difference – we’re a small organisation and everyone in the team has a big say in what we do and how we do it.
