We are excited to invite enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to stand for election to Butterfly Conservation’s Board of Trustees 2024.
Our vision is to have a world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever. If you are passionate about being part of nature’s recovery, making a meaningful impact, and rebuilding the relationship between people and the natural world, we want you on our team!
We are looking to strengthen our existing Board with up to three new vacancies. As a trustee, you will have the opportunity to influence our strategy and support our expert staff and volunteers in the conservation of butterflies and moths, helping them to deliver on our key strategic goals.
The role
As a voluntary trustee, you will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental, alongside your fellow trustees, in providing the governance that supports the CEO and Senior Leadership Team in the successful running of the organisation. You will help ensure it delivers its charitable objectives and long-term vision and purpose. The Board is ultimately responsible for the organisation’s viability and legal responsibilities.
The Board is seeking to reflect Butterfly Conservation’s requirement for a skilled and diverse group of trustees; we welcome candidates with the skills and experience required to fulfil the responsibilities of a trustee as detailed in our role description. We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with relevant experience in the following areas:
• Advocacy/Lobbying Skills
• Fundraising and Marketing
• Environmental Leadership
• Financial experience, particularly in the charitable sector
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone is free to be themselves and able to give their best. We particularly welcome applicants from
underrepresented groups and will ensure no applicant receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, gender reassignment, sex, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, race, or any other protected or other characteristic. If you have the right skills and experience, and our vision and values resonate with you, we’d love to
hear from you.
Our values
E – we deliver excellence
P – we are passionate
I – we are inspiring
C – we are collaborative
