You will help ensure it delivers its charitable objectives and long-term vision and purpose. The Board is ultimately responsible for the organisation's viability and legal responsibilities.   Butterfly Conservation's vision is to have a world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever. If you are passionate about being part of nature's recovery, making a meaningful impact, and rebuilding the relationship between people and the natural world, we want you on our team!

We particularly welcome applications from individuals from underrepresented groups and will ensure no applicant receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, gender reassignment, sex, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, race, or any other protected or other characteristic.  If you have the right skills and experience, and our vision and values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you.
