As a Trustee, you will:
- Play a vital role in shaping the Trust’s strategy and future direction
- Help protect and restore wildlife and habitats across Somerset
- Contribute to tackling the climate and ecological crisis locally
- Use your skills to influence meaningful, long-term change
This is an opportunity to make a real impact for nature and people, while working alongside a committed and experienced Board and leadership team.
We are looking for individuals who:
- Share our passion for nature and commitment to its recovery
- Can think strategically and contribute to effective decision-making
- Bring independent judgement, creativity, and a collaborative approach
- Are willing to dedicate time to support the Trust’s governance
You do not need previous Trustee experience—we will provide induction, training and ongoing support.
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, communities, and career stages.
- Attend 4 Trustee meetings per year (half-day, in person)
- Join at least one committee (quarterly online meetings)
- Attend the AGM and an annual development day
- Prepare for meetings and contribute to discussions
Trustee terms are three years, with the option to renew.
This is a voluntary role, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
Nature recovery needs all of us.
If you’re passionate about making a difference—even if you’re not sure you “tick every box”—we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can build a more inclusive movement for nature and create a thriving, wilder Somerset.
