Fundraising and Communications

 

Fundraising and Communications Manager

(or Fundraising & Communications Officer depending on experience)

The Limbe Wildlife Centre is seeking a Fundraising and Communications Manager / Officer to join our team and contribute to our mission of protecting Cameroon’s unique wildlife at this exciting time.

The Limbe Wildlife Centre

The Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC) was established in 1993 as a collaborative effort between Pandrillus and the Government of Cameroon’s Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) as a sanctuary for endangered Cameroonian wildlife.

Our mission is to protect Cameroonian wildlife by rehabilitating victims of the illegal wildlife trade and other injured, orphaned or displaced animals, improving the conservation of endangered species in the wild, inspiring people to connect with nature and improving local communities’ wellbeing.

We provide care for more than 250 animals including critically endangered gorillas, endangered chimpanzees, drills and red-capped mangabeys, and reach over 2,000 kids in our conservation education programme.

Role Description

The role will work to develop communication and fundraising strategies, researching funding opportunities, identifying grants, writing proposals, and helping with daily communications on e-mail, our website, and on various social media platforms.

Raise funding from granting organisations and individual donors – finding and applying for grants and organising fundraising campaigns - promote wildlife conservation and rehabilitation, and if possible, identify and engage local and international companies to help support our work.

The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring the essential funding and support for the Limbe Wildlife Centre and its related projects.

It is an exciting time for LWC, with the ongoing creation of a new forested site: this is expected to take place during 2026-2028, providing some animal groups with better and larger forested enclosures and a pathway to releases back to the wild.

Description de la mission

Parce que les sciences du vivant sont en perpétuelle évolution et qu’elles se donnent à voir autant qu’à comprendre, Universcience recrute un technicien chargé du vivant F/H pour rejoindre le Laboratoire du vivant, au sein du département des disciplines scientifiques du Palais de la découverte.

Un poste au cœur du vivant et de sa mise en valeur

Au sein d’une équipe de six personnes aux profils variés, engagés et passionnés par la biologie et la transmission des savoirs, vous intervenez sur un périmètre particulièrement riche et diversifié :
cultures végétales, élevages animaux, vivariums, serres, colonies d’insectes, aquariums… Le vivant sous toutes ses formes constitue le cœur de votre activité.

Dans le contexte de la fermeture temporaire du Palais de la découverte, la présentation des espèces s’effectue dans le cadre des événements organisés sur le site des Etincelles du Palais de la découverte, dans le 15ᵉ arrondissement de Paris permettant d’assurer la continuité de l’offre scientifique auprès des publics. Le poste s’inscrit également dans une dynamique collective de réflexion sur l’évolution future de l’offre “vivant” en vue de la réouverture du Palais, en lien notamment avec les équipes de médiation et les projets muséographiques. 

Avec l’équipe du service Laboratoire du vivant, vous participez à la conception, au développement et à la mise en œuvre d’expériences et de présentations muséales en biologie animale et végétale, permanentes ou temporaires.

À ce titre, vous avez notamment en charge de :

• assurer l’entretien, le renouvellement et le suivi des cultures végétales et des élevages animaux (aquariologie, zoologie, entomologie) ;
• participer au montage, à l’exploitation et à l’amélioration des dispositifs expérimentaux ;
• veiller au bon fonctionnement des installations et à la qualité de l’environnement muséologique (conditions de présentation, propreté, éclairage, équipements, mobilier) ;
• assurer le suivi et la qualité des présentations du secteur vivant ;
• rédiger des rapports d’expériences, d’études ou de suivi.

La présentation des espèces s’inscrit dans un cadre muséographique et événementiel, sans médiation humaine directe associée au poste. Vous contribuez ainsi à la valorisation scientifique et technique du vivant à travers la qualité des dispositifs, le respect des conditions de vie des espèces et la cohérence des installations.

Vous veillez par ailleurs au respect des règles d’hygiène et de sécurité, et assurez la maintenance de niveau 1 et 2 des équipements techniques (serres, aquariums, vivariums, systèmes d’irrigation, de traitement de l’eau, de climatisation), en lien avec les prestataires spécialisés.

Enfin, vous assurez une veille scientifique et technique dans vos domaines d’expertise et entretenez des relations avec des partenaires extérieurs (laboratoires, organismes de recherche, établissements culturels ou scientifiques).

Travail du lundi au vendredi avec certains weekends travaillés.

Profil

La rigueur, la curiosité et le sens de la méthode caractérisent votre approche du travail au contact du vivant. À l’aise dans des environnements techniques et scientifiques exigeants, vous savez conjuguer travail en équipe, autonomie et capacité de proposition dans le cadre de projets définis. 

Vous disposez :

• d’une formation Bac+3 minimum en biologie, entomologie et/ou aquariologie ;
• d’une expérience professionnelle de 2 à 5 ans dans un environnement comparable ;
• de solides connaissances en zoologie et en aquariologie, ainsi que des normes de sécurité applicables en ERP ;
• d’une bonne maîtrise des outils informatiques et d’un anglais technique. 

Votre intérêt pour la diffusion de la culture scientifique, votre attention portée au bien-être des espèces confiées et votre sens des responsabilités constituent des atouts essentiels pour ce poste.

Rejoindre Universcience, c’est intégrer un établissement public de référence, engagé dans la diffusion de la culture scientifique et technique, et contribuer activement à la construction de l’offre scientifique du Palais de la découverte de demain.
