We are seeking a dynamic new Chair!

We are looking to appoint a vibrant new Chair to lead the Natural Cambridgeshire board and the organisation as it works towards doubling nature across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Natural Cambridgeshire recently secured funding from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority to deliver shared nature recovery objectives through the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fund for Nature. This aims to increase and enhance key wildlife habitats, promote the benefits of natural spaces, create resilient countryside and communities, and champion best practice for sustainable development and management of parks and green open space.

This new funding programme, and the strong partnership that underpins it, makes this a transformative time for Natural Cambridgeshire and the new Chair will be at the heart of taking forward these vital agendas locally, as well as representing the Partnership nationally.

Rebecca Britton, a trustee for Natural Cambridgeshire, and Chair of the Developing with Nature Forum said: “The role of Natural Cambridgeshire is evolving and growing, and our local nature partnership is looking for a dynamic new Chair to lead the Board and the organisation as it works to realise its vision.  This is a really exciting time for the organisation, and we look forward to hearing from potential candidates.”

Application process: CVs with a covering letter explaining why you feel you are suitable for this role (no more than 2 sides of A4) should be sent to recruitment@naturalcambridgeshire.org.uk no later than 5pm on Friday, 27th May 2023.
