In line with our redeployment policy, we’ll prioritise applications from employees who are under formal notice of redundancy.

Are you passionate about restoring nature on a landscape-scale? As one of the National Trust’s most pioneering partnership-based landscape-scale projects, we're on an ambitious journey to create a thriving, connected landscape across 21,000 hectares of the west Cotswolds — connecting habitats from Crickley Hill in the north to Newark Park in the south.

As the Stroud Landscape Project Manager, you’ll be leading a project that works with landowners, communities, local councils and environmental organisations – delivering our Restore Nature strategy beyond the boundaries of our ownership. You will play a pivotal leadership role in the project, making our 2050 vision a reality by identifying long-term land management solutions that help shape and deliver this transformational landscape-scale project - enabling both people and nature to thrive.

The Cotswolds is an amazing place to work, and we care for a real diverse range of sites. From internationally important calcareous grassland to ancient beech woodlands; species-rich lowland meadows to wood pasture and wetter habitats, we have it all including rare and locally vulnerable species, such as the Duke of Burgundy and Large Blue butterflies, skylark, Pasqueflower, Greater Horseshoe Bat and juniper - so there's a lot to get excited about.

As Project Manager, you will oversee and be responsible for the delivery of five strategic priority areas including meadows and grasslands, trees and woodlands, water and climate adaptation, urban engagement and conservation grazing. You’ll also lead the Ebworth Nature Farmscape workstream with ambitions to grow the Cotswolds Commons and Beechwoods National Nature Reserve by 51%. You’ll grow the skills, knowledge and confidence of the project team into new and exciting areas.

Building successful partnerships is a big part of our work and you will always be looking to work with others to create bigger, better, more and joined up spaces for nature. You will be motivated and enthusiastic and always ready to go the extra mile, leading and supporting the team to achieve great things.

This is a brilliant opportunity for you to bring your project management and experience to make a positive difference to the west Cotswolds landscape. Your enthusiasm, pace and passion for your work will shine through in all you do.

You’ll have a passion for delivering high profile nature and landscape projects alongside quality stakeholder engagement. You will build positive partnerships and relationships with others, including landowners and community groups. You’ll also have a strong eye for land management practices and business modelling, identifying external funding and fundraising opportunities to give the project a financially sustainable future. You’ll work directly with partners as well as being an important, supportive member to the NT’s project manager community. You’ll facilitate cross-organisation working, bringing positivity and energy.

Reporting to the Restore Nature Delivery Manager and the Project Board you’ll be a people person, managing complex relationships with partners, staff, volunteers, and community groups.

Some weekend and evening working will be required.

The post holder will be required to work at the National Trust offices on the Ebworth Estate, near Stroud but you may also work at the portfolio’s other offices at Tinkley Gate and on the Sherborne Estate on occasions. Due to the collaborative nature of the role, remote working is not possible.
