Ribble Rivers Trust (RRT) is a regional charity set up to conserve the Ribble
Catchment, particularly its rivers, brooks, becks, and streams. Over the last 10 years, RRT has
developed and grown into a sector leading organisation, known for getting things done,
strong partnership working and a collaborative approach.
We have 5 teams, each with a particular focus (Data and Evidence, Land Management, People and
Learning, River Conservation and Core Services), and each full of enthusiastic professionals
with diverse skills and experience. The teams work closely on collaborative and integrated
projects to improve, protect and create a mosaic of habitats and land uses that will lead to a
healthy riverine environment. This is underpinned by a science driven approach that deliver
multiple benefits for wildlife and people.
The Trust also works collaboratively and in partnership with a range of organisations such

Wildlife Trust, Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, The Forest of Bowland AONB, Local Authorities
and others.
With Support from Defra’s Species Survival Fund we are launching a new programme of
river improvement projects called ‘Ribble Revival: Room for Rivers’. This programme
has significant amounts of on the ground habitat conservation activities, with most
having elements of volunteering and community engagement. These activities include;
tree planting, woodland maintenance, fencing, wetland creation, and Fish Passage, to name a
few. The programme seeks to put local communities at the heart of the projects, involving
them in design, monitoring and delivery.
As such, we are looking to recruit a competent and enthusiastic person who will be joining
a creative and dedicated organisation. This person will have knowledge of
providing administrative support to a multi-disciplinary team. The successful candidate will
have an interest in rivers and conservation, and be able to demonstrate their desire to work in
a mission focused organisation that is making a difference in the world.
