About the employer

Our client is the oldest wildlife charity of its kind in the country and Norfolk’s largest environmental charity, committed to the protection and enhancement of Norfolk’s wildlife and wild places.

About the Wilder Norwich Project

Wilder Norwich is an ambitious multi-partner collaboration focused on nature recovery and community agency around three key urban green spaces in Norwich, delivered in partnership with Norfolk and Waveney Mind and Norwich City Council.

Through authentic, community-led engagement and ecological action, the project will support both nature recovery and community wellbeing in Norwich.

Wilder Norwich is funded thanks to the support from National Lottery players and The National Lottery Community Fund.

The Role
