Dartmoor National Park Authority

Chief Executive

Location: Parke, Bovey Tracey, Devon

Salary: £101,717 - £111,547 (depending on experience) 

Dartmoor is a landscape of exceptional beauty, cultural richness, and ecological significance. It is a place where nature, heritage, and community meet—and where the challenges and opportunities facing protected landscapes in England are felt acutely.

The vision for Dartmoor National Park is for a greener, wilder, and more accessible Dartmoor—one that is resilient to climate change, rich in biodiversity, and inclusive in its benefits. We face some real challenges: nature loss, climate pressures, an uncertain future for the farming community, financial and policy transitions, increasing visitor numbers, and development pressures beyond our boundaries. But there are also real opportunities. Dartmoor is uniquely placed to lead the way in landscape-scale recovery, sustainable land management, and community-led innovation.

This is therefore a time of both great change and great possibility for Dartmoor.

We are seeking a Chief Executive who can help Dartmoor realise its full potential in delivering the statutory purposes of National Parks: conserving and enhancing natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage; and promoting opportunities for public understanding and enjoyment. These purposes are underpinned by our duty to foster the economic and social well-being of local communities.

We are looking for an inspirational and strategic leader—someone with the vision, credibility, and energy to guide the Authority through a period of transformation. You will bring senior leadership experience, political acumen, and a passion for Dartmoor’s landscapes and communities. You will be a champion for partnership, a steward of public value, and an ambassador for Dartmoor locally and nationally.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of one of England’s most iconic landscapes. If you share our ambition and values, please review the full candidate information and contact GatenbySanderson for a confidential discussion please visit the site via the Apply button.
