ABOUT US
The Woodland Trust is the UK's leading woodland conservation charity. We want to see a world where trees and woods thrive for people and nature. The Trust engages and inspires people to make their difference tackling the nature and climate crisis helping protect, restore and create our vital woods and trees.
THE ROLE
Excellent governance is at the heart of what we do and fundamental to our success. We're recruiting for an Associate Director of Strategy, Governance and Programme Delivery to lead the Trust's governance, strategic planning and programme management to promote a culture in which everything we do supports our vision.
The role will improve the quality of the Trust's strategic thinking and decision–making to deliver our strategic aims and influence activity, promoting transparency and accountability through our operations to transform the way we work.
This role can be homebased or a combination of home and the Grantham based office. Frequent travel will be required to our Head Office based in Grantham, Lincolnshire and to our country and regional sites.
THE CANDIDATE
You'll be a credible and inspiring executive–level leader, with substantial experience of strategic planning, governance and working with Board and management to maximise impact. With a focus on the 'bigger picture' you'll have the ability to assess complex regulatory issues, and make recommendations for action.
Positive and engaging, you'll be an effective communicator with the gravitas to build and sustain effective relationships, work under pressure to achieve challenging objectives. You must be able to deal with conflicting demands and prioritise work whilst ensuring high–quality output.
WHAT TO EXPECT BY JOINING A TEAM AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE
There's no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Joining the team you will be making your contribution to tackling the nature and climate crisis. In return, we recognise and value our people. You'll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a contributory pension, life assurance, good holiday allowance and the opportunity to work flexibly from home.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
At the Woodland Trust, we believe everyone deserves to have their lives enriched by trees and woods.
We also believe that our organisation should reflect and represent the full richness of human diversity in terms of background, identity, ability and circumstance. As groups of people currently underrepresented as Woodland Trust employees, we are particularly keen to receive your application if you are Black, Asian or minority ethnic, disabled or under 25. We are measuring our success in redressing this.
We are open to discussion of any adjustments or flexible working arrangements you may need to achieve your full potential at any stage of the process, and if you are successful in gaining a position with us, during employment.
We promise the only thing we assess within your application is how you have demonstrated your suitability for the job, and nothing else.
