Could you lead our Central Team to build the Freshwater Network?

Freshwater Habitats Trust is the UK’s leading charity for all freshwaters. We are an
evidence-based organisation that protects freshwater wildlife through practical and innovative
nature conservation projects across England and Wales.

The Director, Central Team, will develop and oversee programmes across Oxfordshire and
Buckinghamshire, playing a key role in realising our vision of building the Freshwater Network.

As a member of the Senior Management Team the postholder will lead the Central Team and work
across the following areas:

• Strategic development
• Leadership and management
• Fundraising
• Project delivery
• Partnership development
