new native woodlands, you will be required to get hands on, working with private landowners, to
plan and implement habitat and species conservation at a catchment scale.

Your work will require you to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, where you will
foster support for environmental programmes by providing informed land-management advise.
Importantly, you will work collaboratively as part of a wider team, to ensure the correct
support, knowledge and experiences are being leveraged to deliver at a consistently high
standard. Where additional support is needed, you will procure and oversee a diverse portfolio
of skilled contractors, to deliver the proposed works to the same high standards.
