We're hiring for trustees!

Sussex Wildlife Trust Trustee, Louise McLoughlin, talks to us about what first interested her in the role. Louise also gives some advice to those who are considering applying - and to those who might think they can't!

Becoming a trustee can be a great way to have your voice heard on how we can engage new audiences to protect nature in Sussex. 

The trustee job description and how to apply can be found here, and the closing date is Friday 20th June 2025.

    Hi, I just got sent this link from a friend so am a little late to the party.
    Please do let me know if the position is still available. I have great references, wildlife and countryside management qualifications plus 15yrs running a wildlife sanctuary.
    All the best ~ Alicia
