The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is the nation’s leading wetland conservation charity. We are pioneers in protecting wetlands for wildlife and people, both in the UK and around the world. 

Almost all life depends on wetlands for water, food, or habitat. Yet a third of all wetlands have been destroyed. We are pioneers in saving threatened wetland wildlife, a centre for excellence in conservation science and experts in wetland management and creation. 

We are now looking for a Membership Recruitment Manager to join our passionate team and promote the benefits of membership with the WWT.

Leading a small, but formidable team, you’ll identify ways to promote the benefits of membership to potential supporters using face-to-face and digital channels. 

You’ll collaborate with various teams to ensure that the membership journey is positive and create marketing collateral and display materials to support our face-to-face membership recruiters.
