What will the session cover?

The Wildlife Trusts is one of the largest organisations in the UK focused on the environment and the natural habitat for wildlife. Steve is a really passionate advocate for the work of the Trust.   

In this session, he’ll cover:

  • Life as a volunteer for the Trusts

  • Typical routes into work with the Wildlife Trusts

  • The key roles both as volunteers and as employees: what the roles are and what they cover

  • What the Trusts looks for in its volunteers and employees

  • An overview of the organisation and their priorities for the future

Who is this session aimed at?

We’d love as many of our members who have ever thought about working to either support the environment or our natural habitat to come along. Not only will you get to learn more about one of our largest charities in the UK, you’ll also get to meet fellow members keen on learning more about this field.  

About Steve

Steve Davis is Head of HR and Volunteering at Dorset Wildlife Trust but, as the Wildlife Trusts is a series of independent charities, in this capacity, he is also representing the entirety of the organisation.

His role encompasses all areas of HR management as well as managing the volunteering programme. As a member of the Senior Management team, he has good oversight across the entire organisation.  

Steve is a career changer: he started life in the Royal Corps of Signals in which he served for 23 years. After his military service, he progressed into the Charity sector and, after starting out life himself as a volunteer, he’s progressed into paid work taking on increasing levels of responsibility. His interests away from work include wildlife photography and running.
