This year the requirement for events has grown rapidly, so we are looking for someone with organisation skills who will enjoy the challenge of helping other teams, creating new systems for the loan of event equipment and assisting the Event Manager with delivering a busy calendar of activities, including our Annual General Meeting, public events, large conservation tasks, dinners, breakfast talks and online events. The role will also focus on developing major donor and corporate partner events, establish a “walks and talks” programme to engage members, raise awareness and develop new income streams.

You will need to be able to organise and prioritise your time, demonstrate effective event organisation, use your initiative, stay calm and solve problems under pressure.  A drive to deliver exceptional customer service is essential as well as the willingness to muck in when needed, even out of normal working hours.

Our offices are in Pirbright, Leatherhead and Wisley and our hybrid working policy aims to provide a good work/life balance which can incorporate partial home working. 

The salary offered to successful applicants will form part of a benefits package including: above minimum pension contributions, life assurance of 4 x salary, employee support scheme, 22+ days holiday, flexible/hybrid working policy.

We are committed to having an inclusive and diverse workplace and encourage applications from backgrounds which may be underrepresented in our sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities.  We aim to offer an interview to all candidates that meet the essential criteria for the post. Please let us know if you require any adjustment to make our recruitment process more accessible.

Guided by a collaborative vision where we all play a part in connecting nature, we provide expert advice and guidance to landowners and managers, making sure the land we look after leads by example, while inspiring and educating people and organisations across the county on what they can do. By doing this we will create a Surrey that is full of diverse and abundant wildlife, where nature is at the heart of individual choices, corporate decisions, and local economic and policy making. One that helps tackle the ongoing climate emergency, while supporting the health and wellbeing of all who live here.
