Summary
Like the climate and biodiversity crisis that World Land Trust is trying to tackle through protecting threatened habitats, we are at a pivotal point in our history. With an ambitious strategic plan, we want to be more visible and even more engaging, but most importantly, we want to communicate our ambition through our story telling. A contemporary social media strategy that matches this aspiration is key. The Social Media Officer will focus on all things social in order to bring World Land Trust to life online, increasing our following, and engaging with our audience of dedicated supporters. This role offers a real opportunity for someone looking to make an impact, with the potential to develop in post as we continue to grow.
Working with World Land Trust
WLT is based in the UK and is unique within the conservation world. Reaching beyond its 30th year of operation the Trust has grown from small beginnings saving critically threatened forest in Belize, to become an internationally respected conservation organisation with a proven track record, working with more than 50 overseas conservation NGOs on protection of threatened habitats. WLT has developed its modus operandi without losing its vision, integrity and transparency.
