At Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT), we believe everyone should have access to nature. Improving access to natural spaces will boost our collective mental and physical health and wellbeing, and our nature reserves must play their part in this.

At present, not everyone in Shropshire is able to access nature equally. Physical access on many sites is difficult for many, and we’ve heard from the communities we work with that people can feel excluded from nature reserves by poor information, uncertain access, or just not feeling it’s for people like them.

Our Accessible Reserves programme is a multi-year project aiming to increase the number of people that can enjoy our nature reserves. It’s vital that we involve communities with lived experience in this work.

We’re looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Community Facilitator to connect and build relationships with community groups, leaders and champions to influence our strategy and shape our programme of work.

This is a fixed-term contract for six months starting from May 2026. There is potential for this to be extended, or for similar roles to become available, if additional funding is secured.

The role is flexible and hybrid with at least one day a week in our Shrewsbury office and regular travel within Shropshire.
