Marketing and Communications Officer
£30,305 - £33,146 FTE | Part-time 3 days per week | Based at our offices in Clapham, near Settle, with a mix of office and home working and travel across the Yorkshire Dales National Park and surrounding areas.
At Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT), we believe in doing big things, with heart, to help protect the stunning landscapes, people and wildlife of the Yorkshire Dales. We make a lasting impact through our work, planting 1.6 million trees, safeguarding over 850 hectares of wildflower meadows and inspiring others to care for this beautiful part of the world. Now, we’re looking for someone to join our small but mighty team and help amplify our message even further.
Great marketing and communications is pivotal to YDMT’s continued success. We tell the stories of the people, places, and wildlife that we work with, making sure our supporters, partners, and the wider public understand why our mission is so vital. We believe that nature and its protection should matter to everyone. So how do we make sure we reach and inspire even more people to get involved? That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for someone who isn’t just about the transactional side of marketing, although of course, you'll need to be organised, creative, and analytical. We’re looking for someone with a real passion for our cause, who brings fresh ideas, energy, and creativity to the table.
You’ll need to be a team player with a proactive, can-do attitude, as well as the ability to work independently to get things done. The perfect candidate will understand the importance of engaging and nurturing our supporters while also looking for innovative ways to expand our reach. You’ll have excellent writing skills, experience of delivering successful marketing campaigns, and the ability to build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. Underpinning all of this is your ability to work within our culture – which means sharing our values of being creative, caring, honest and enabling.
If you’re ready to help us tell our story, engage our supporters, and raise vital funds for our work, we’d love to hear from you.

Are you an experienced and self-motivated fundraiser who wants to make a difference to people, landscape and wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales?

About Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust
We are a charity doing big things to help to support people, landscape and wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas.
We deliver diverse and inspirational projects, helping to plant 1.6 million trees and securing the future of more than 850 hectares of wildflower hay meadows, creating habitats for our wildlife and combatting climate change. We are passionate about inspiring disadvantaged groups and future generations to care for this special area.
About the role
The focus of this role is to develop and grow income from corporate partnerships, helping us build on our award-winning approach to this area of fundraising.
This will involve working closely with our Development Manager to ensure excellent stewardship of existing partners, helping us to develop long term strategic partnerships tailored to a company’s CSR or ESG objectives. You will also help with the planning and delivery of an exciting volunteering programme geared around hands-on habitat creation and management work in the Yorkshire Dales, Nidderdale and Forest of Bowland.
To support our growth plans, you'll play an important role in our business development activity, helping to increase corporate income. This will involve prospect research, helping with the planning and delivery of corporate engagement events and cultivating opportunities for additional funding from existing partners.
We offer a working environment where everyone is valued and empowered to make a difference. As a member of a relatively small and supportive team, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to expand your skills, supporting our wider fundraising efforts and project delivery work.
About you

You will have excellent people skills and an ability to develop strong relationships with corporate partners as well as colleagues and supporters. You will also have good written skills, with experience of creating compelling and engaging communications that inspire and engage your target audience.
Delivering exceptional volunteering events is key to the success of our corporate partnerships, so experience in the planning and execution of engaging in person events will be of real value.
A key part of the role will be to support our business development activity, which will require strong research skills and an ability to identify prospects that share our passion for delivering positive social and environmental impact. Experience using a CRM system to cultivate new business will be a key asset in this role.
Underpinning all of this is your ability to work within our culture – which means sharing our values of being creative, caring, honest and enabling.
