Job Description

Director

Responsible for: Fundraising and Grants Manager

Responsible to: Trustees

Working hours: 3.5 – 4 days per week (26.5 - 30 hours)

Salary: £52,000 full-time equivalent (£36,400 - £41,600 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)

About the Role

This is an opportunity to lead an ambitious, values-driven charity at a genuinely exciting moment in its development. The Peak District National Park Foundation has grown substantially over recent years — raising over £1 million in 2025/26 — and our new Director will build on this momentum to shape the next chapter of the organisation.

The role is broad and substantive. You will lead our fundraising strategy and income generation, while taking responsibility for high-profile grant-making programmes, major strategic projects, and the long-term resilience and direction of the charity. You will work closely with our Trustee Board on governance and organisational strategy, and lead a small, dedicated team who are passionate about the Peak District and the difference we make.

This is not simply a fundraising role. We are at a stage where strong strategic leadership matters as much as income generation — someone who can hold both, and who is energised by the opportunity to help shape what the Foundation becomes.

About Us

The Peak District is the UK's oldest National Park — a landscape of moorlands, dales, farmland and villages that holds a special place in the hearts of millions. But like protected landscapes across the country, it faces real and growing pressures: from climate change, habitat loss, and threats to the Park’s heritage, to barriers that prevent many communities from connecting with it.

At the Peak District National Park Foundation, we fund and deliver projects to:

Protect our peatlands: some of the most degraded upland peatland in Europe
Restore habitats and restore nature: creating bigger, better and more joined up habitats, and supporting biodiversity
Connect people and communities to nature: ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience and care for our National Park
Improve access: repairing degraded paths, improving access for people with disabilities and helping more people enjoy their right to roam.
Protect the Park’s heritage: protecting irreplaceable heritage sites shaped by over 10,000 years of human activity

We are a small, supportive team who value collaboration, curiosity, kindness and getting stuck in. We love the Peak District and we work with partners, communities and experts to deliver meaningful, lasting impact.

Key Responsibilities

Lead on major strategic initiatives such as People of the Peak, our National Lottery Heritage Fund funded project, and other landscape-scale or community-focused programmes
Build and maintain partnerships with the Peak District National Park Authority, Moors for the Future, and other key organisations in the voluntary, community and private sectors
Represent the Foundation on external boards and strategic groups

Communications and External Affairs

Act as spokesperson for the Foundation, engaging proactively and reactively with media
Identify and follow up opportunities to raise the Foundation’s profile across the Peak District and beyond
