Careers

At Suffolk Wildlife Trust, we’re a friendly team of nearly 100 people working across the county to bring nature back to Suffolk. Established in 1961, we’re one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK and the only one focused solely on safeguarding Suffolk’s wildlife & wild spaces. We manage over 7,700 acres across 60 nature reserves, from Lowestoft to Bury St Edmunds, helping local habitats recover & thrive.

Our work is guided by our Vision of a a wilder Suffolk, where nature is thriving and abundant, because everyone is united in valuing nature and doing more to help - and powered by our Mission to Bring Nature Back to Suffolk.

From our Conservation & Recovery team of wardens, ecologists, advisors, planners and advocates, to our Engagement team delivering events, training and community activities, we’re driven by shared beliefs and values: that nature has value in its own right, we all share responsibility for it, and society thrives when nature thrives. Together - with our volunteers, members and supporters - we lead with tenacity, act with pragmatism and champion inclusion, creating a culture that’s nature-led, collaborative, trusting, reflective & safe.
