The Mammal Society is the national voice campaigning for conservation that benefits mammals. A relatively small charity, the Society has a large and unique role in bringing together professional scientists who study all mammals with members of the public who share an interest in them.
As detailed on the Charity Commission website: ‘The Mammal Society works to protect British mammals, halt the decline of threatened species and advise on all issues affecting British mammals. We study mammals, identify the problems they face and promote conservation and other policies based on sound science’.
Wildlife needs our help. Our research shows that one quarter of our 48 native mammals are at risk of extinction, and we need urgent, effective action to reverse the loss of biodiversity. The Mammal Society strategic plan sets out our vision for the future where society values and protects our native wildlife and recognises the benefit that nature brings to everyone.
We have exciting plans for growth in the next five years and are recruiting a CEO to lead our team of staff and volunteers.
Working closely with the Chair of Trustees, the CEO will be one of the principal ambassadors for the Society, presenting the scientific, policy and conservation work of the charity to a range of audiences.
The CEO has primary responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of the Mammal Society Strategic Plan and will lead, support and motivate staff and volunteers, securing their loyalty and commitment to our charitable objects.
We are looking for an individual with excellent leadership and management skills, who is committed to the Society’s aims and ethos and has a desire to take an active role in delivering science-led conservation.
