Do you care about trees? Are you a great project manager? Are you skilled in logistical organisation, resource management, working with people and
managing large budgets?

This is a tremendous opportunity for a driven and organised project manager to lead the
delivery of the Saving Devon’s Treescapes project.

Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) is Devon’s leading wildlife conservation charity, with over 36,000
members, 350 regular volunteers, 100 staff and 63 nature reserves. We are one of the larger
locally based organisations that collectively make up The Wildlife Trusts. DWT has pioneered
the reintroduction of beavers in England and the restoration of internationally rare habitats
like Culm Grassland.

Devon Wildlife Trust is leading the Saving Devon’s Treescapes project on behalf of a wide
partnership with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The project harnesses
people’s passion about trees – many of whom have never undertaken practical conservation action
before – to make lasting improvements to their local treescapes, providing hope in the face of
the alarming changes that ash dieback is bringing. Having commenced in 2020, the aim is to
plant 250,000 trees in 6 years. Ash dieback is everyone’s problem; Saving Devon’s Treescapes
will encourage everyone to be part of the solution.

In return for your hard work and dedication you’ll enjoy a wide range of benefits including:

  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Agile working arrangements including home working
  • Flexitime system
  • Contributory pension scheme (conditions apply)

work.
