The Chesterfield Canal Trust is look for an experienced funding officer to work within the Trust as they accelerate the restoration of the remaining nine miles of the Chesterfield Canal. This historic canal will link Chesterfield once more to the national waterways network at the River Trent. Building on their current £5.3m Towns Fund restoration programme success, the Trust is determined to develop and widen their employed staff team with their first dedicated fundraising appointment.

The aims of the Chesterfield Canal Trust are to promote the full restoration and appropriate development of the Chesterfield Canal, and to campaign for the construction of the Rother Valley Link, a navigable waterway to join the Chesterfield Canal to the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation. Amongst other activities they run four trip boats and many volunteer led projects.
