Butterfly Conservation Careers

Butterfly Conservation is a vibrant, inspiring place to work and we're passionate about connecting people to nature. We're looking to recruit passionate ‘can-do’ people who can help us to create a world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever.

• Butterfly Conservation is a charity dedicated to saving butterflies, moths, and our natural environment. We are a leading authority on the conservation of these beautiful creatures – key indicators of a healthy ecosystem – and we have achieved numerous successes for them locally and nationally.

• Our people are at the heart of what we do. Our work is only possible thanks to the commitment and dedication of our supporters, volunteers, and staff.

• We employ world-class conservation scientists, making us the world’s largest research institute for butterflies and moths. Our data is used by government and policymakers to make a long-term difference for the environment.

• We are actively involved in hands-on conservation throughout the UK, at every level from individual households to landscape-scale habitats, working tirelessly to make a difference for butterflies, moths, and our environment – and to benefit all wildlife and the ecosystems upon which life depends.

• We have 32 volunteer-run local branches, making a huge difference in their communities as well as operating 29 nature reserves in England, Scotland, and Wales.

• We run projects to protect threatened species, and we are involved in conserving hundreds of other sites across the UK.

• We are proud to be supported by more than 40,000 members who share our passion for butterflies and moths. Every year we run one of the biggest citizen science projects in the world, the Big Butterfly Count, to engage more and more people with the natural world.
