Overall purpose of role

Suffolk Wildlife Trust is the county’s nature charity with ambitious plans for a wilder Suffolk. By 2030, 30% of land in Suffolk will be working for nature and 1 in 4 people will be taking action for nature. Our staff and volunteers are fundamental to achieving these targets.

Once a year we send a survey to selected areas of Suffolk to ask people what wildlife they have seen in their local neighbourhood.  This helps us to build a picture of what species people are regularly seeing in their area, what they feel about nature and natural spaces, and their concerns about nature’s decline. 

This volunteering role is to help us input the survey returns into a spreadsheet for analysis.  In this way you will be contributing to our valuable knowledge about Suffolk’s wildlife.

The role would suit someone with good IT literacy (particularly MS Excel) and excellent attention to detail.

It is based with the friendly team at our central office at Brooke House in Ashbocking.

Main responsibilities

• Interpret and input wildlife survey data into a spreadsheet, in accordance with instructions from our Head of Business Development.
• Assist the Head of Development in interpreting the survey results e.g. through the production of graphs and charts.
