Conservation Works Officer

The Role
We are looking for a Conservation Works Officer to provide additional support, for a period of
maternity cover until April 2025, to help us deliver the work of the award-winning Moors for
the Future Partnership. 

Working as part of a team you will develop and deliver creative land management solutions to
affect landscape scale change. There will be desk-based and field work with the emphasis upon
developing and delivering conservation projects. There will be a need to travel extensively
throughout the South Pennines.

About You

You will be computer literate, have knowledge of GIS systems and an HND in an environmental or
related subject – or equivalent – with at least 2 years’ countryside management experience. You
will need to be capable of leading on projects without close supervision, with experience of

owners and land managers (such as farmers and gamekeepers). 

In return, we can offer you the opportunity of making a real difference to the South Pennine
uplands, working as part of a friendly and focused team. You will be based at the Moorland
Centre, in the beautiful village of Edale, minutes from the Pennine Way.
