About Us
The Wildlife Trusts are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT). Together we have 900,000 members, 32,500 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. We are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history, with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.
Wildlife Trusts have restored and care for some of the most special places for wildlife in the UK. Collectively we manage more than 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. We undertake research, we stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and we help people access nature.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.
About You
Do you want to help secure one of the UK’s best-loved nature charities against cyber security threats? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you.
We’re looking for an Information Security Analyst to join the IT Team at the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts to protect data and systems from attack. You will promote and support implementation of the Wildlife Trusts Cyber Security Framework within RSWT and across the federation, provide information security expertise to Digital Transformation projects, work with stakeholders across the federation to identify and raise awareness of risks, and work with the IT team and third parties to respond to alerts, security incidents and managing vulnerabilities.
You will be highly motivated and technically competent, a good communicator who enjoys working with both technical and non-technical colleagues. You will work across the federation to raise awareness and implementation of technical and policy controls from the Wildlife Trust Cyber Security Framework. You will be aware of current and emerging information security threats in a Microsoft cloud environment and the appropriate technical mitigations. Experience of information security within the NGO sector is desirable but not essential.
You will have a clear interest in our cause and have excellent communication and collaboration skills to help bring everyone together to ensure that we deliver to the highest standards and achieve the best outcomes for nature.

Who we are
We need nature and it needs us. We’re here to make the world wilder and make nature part of life, for everyone. We’re helping to make life better – for wildlife, for people, and for future generations.
The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of 870,000 members, 38,000 volunteers, and 2,800 staff across the UK. We are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history, with an ambitious new strategy in development setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.
Each Wildlife Trust is an independent charity formed by people getting together to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live.
The next 10 years will be critical in determining what kind of world we will all live in. We need to reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale as a matter of urgency if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. This will require big, bold changes in the way we think and operate, and the development of a strong, collaborative culture. It will require key stakeholders and the public to take action for nature’s recovery.
We want our people to be as diverse as society, so we particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.
