Do you love the Peak District? Do you believe everyone should have the chance to connect with nature and experience the beauty of the National Park’s incredible landscapes? Then come and join the team as our new Fundraising & Grants Assistant.

Working hours: 3 – 4 days per week (22.5 – 30 hours)
Salary: £25,000 full-time equivalent (£15,000 – £20,000 actual salary, depending on hours worked)
Location: Hybrid, with an expectation of spending at least half the time working in the Peak District (our HQ in Bakewell or elsewhere on location)
Deadline: Apply by 9:00 AM on Monday 2nd March 2026.

The Foundation is in an exciting period of growth and by 2028 we aim to be raising at least £1 million each year to fund vital work in the National Park. This is a key entry-level role and a great opportunity for someone wanting to launch their career in fundraising, grant making, environmental or community work.

In this role you’ll get involved in all areas of fundraising from individuals, grant makers and corporate partnerships, as well as events. You’ll also oversee the day-to-day delivery of our grant making programmes for schools, charities and community groups. You’ll receive training and ongoing support, so you don’t need prior experience in fundraising or grant making.

If you’re a creative problem solver, enjoy talking to people, thrive on variety and are keen learn and try new things, we want to hear from you. If you’re unsure whether to apply, we encourage you to go for it — we’re looking for potential as well as experience.

We’re a small, supportive team who value collaboration, curiosity, kindness and getting stuck in. We love the Peak District and are building a community of supporters who are working with us to protect and improve the Peak District for everyone, forever.

Further details of the role and how to apply are in the job pack.
