Bumblebees are in crisis — and we need expert voices to help secure their future. The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is looking for a Conservation & Science Trustee to join our Board and help guide the science-led action needed to halt and reverse bumblebee decline. If you have knowledge and experience of UK landscape-scale, evidence-based conservation and/or UK environmental policy advocacy, your expertise could make a lasting difference for bumblebees, pollinators, people and nature.

As a science-led conservation charity, the Trust works to protect bumblebees by turning evidence into practical action. This is a rewarding opportunity to bring strategic insight, challenge and support to a mission that matters. We are proud of our inclusive culture and warmly welcome applications from people who are new to trusteeship, as well as those with previous Board experience.

If you can bring expertise in any of the following: entomology, ecology, the practical application of evidence for conservation, policy advocacy, data management and/or conservation-related education and training for citizen science projects — and can commit around one day a month — we would love to hear from you.

Are you an experienced project manager? Are you excited by innovation, like a challenge, partnership working, and the opportunity to help shape a new service with real impact on people’s lives? If so we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for an experienced and proactive project manager who is a strong and engaging communicator. You will need to thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy solving complex challenges. You will be passionate about creating practical solutions that deliver environmental and social benefits.

This is a unique opportunity to lead the development and delivery of an innovative pilot project working closely with partners and installers in the Highlands and Islands. The project aims to help rural and remote households access low-carbon technologies through a trusted, fair, and customer-focused group purchasing model. Due to the nature of the role, ideally the candidate would be based in the Highlands and Islands, as regular travel throughout the project area will be required.

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
