Could you help shape the future of Dorset’s wildlife?

Dorset Wildlife Trust is seeking new trustees to join our governing Council at a crucial time for nature. This is a voluntary but highly rewarding role, offering a unique opportunity to use your skills, insight and passion to help guide one of Dorset’s leading conservation charities and strengthen our impact across the county.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in areas of finance, fundraising, AI and digital technology or in legal affairs. However, enthusiasm, commitment and fresh perspectives are just as important. We are committed to diversity and inclusion, and warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.

Interested? Download an information pack and have a read through. To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter to: enquiries@dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk


Shortlisted candidates will be invited to meet a panel of trustees at our offices near Dorchester. If you’d like an informal chat with a current trustee to understand more about what’s involved, just let us know.

The application deadline is Friday 31 July 2026.
