Conservation Grazing Manager
Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust
Exciting opportunity for an ambitious person to make a real difference for nature!
We are looking for an experienced, dynamic, and organised person to lead on the conservation grazing across our nature reserves in Gloucestershire.
The role will require managing our native-breed cattle, ponies and sheep to provide the best outcomes for habitats and wildlife while ensuring an excellent standard of animal welfare. The trust currently owns a small herd of Highland cattle and Exmoor ponies, in addition to a small flock of primitive sheep.
There is potential to expand grazing operations to increase our delivery of natural process led solutions. The successful candidate will be joining the Nature Recovery Zone team as the trust looks to take on additional land that will require management through grazing.
Term: Permanent Position, Full-time
Closing date: Monday, 24th November 2025.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found before the advertised closing date.
