Voluntary role
Freshwater Habitats Trust (FHT) is the UK’s leading charity for all freshwaters. We’ve been creating, restoring and protecting high quality habitats for freshwater wildlife for more than 30 years.
Our aim is to reverse the decline in freshwater biodiversity. We work to achieve this through practical conservation, scientific research, community engagement and by influencing policy. As an evidence-based organisation, we target our practical delivery work where it will make a real difference. We have projects in many parts of the UK, focused on restoring and protecting high quality habitats for freshwater wildlife.
Now, we want to enhance the current Board and bring a range of backgrounds and experiences reflective of the people we currently serve and those we would like to be serving in the future.
We particularly welcome new Trustees that bring skills and experience in any of the following areas:
- Communications:
- Policy and Parliamentary influence
- Human Resources
Please do not be put off from applying if you do not have any of these skills or if you have never been a Trustee before. The most important qualities for our Trustees are enthusiasm, engagement and a desire to get involved and make a contribution to FHT.
This is a voluntary role (reasonable travel expenses reimbursed) involving:
- Attending four Board meetings a year (three online, one in London or Oxford).
- Approximately four days per year to cover meetings and occasional extra duties.
