Here. Now. All of us. Be part of the team championing bold action for climate, nature, and people in Scotland’s first National Park. Join us and be part of the change.

Thanks to National Lottery players these two exciting new posts offer the chance to develop and deliver a major new landscape scale nature restoration project for nature, climate and people, at the heart of the National Park.

The Role:

Working alongside Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Countryside Trust and RSPB Scotland, the National Park Authority has committed to an exciting new Landscape Connections Initiative. This truly landscape scale initiative will focus on accelerating restoration of our woodland mosaic, addressing shared threats, and maximising shared opportunities for people and communities across three existing landscape partnerships.

The post holder will deliver an 18-month development phase and lead on the submission of a funding application for a further eight-year delivery phase.

The role includes ensuring the Initiative is delivered within budget and to the required specification, stays within scope, aligning programmes to strategic goals, managing timelines, milestones, risks and reporting. The post will be embedded within the Nature and Land Use Team, although will work across the organisation and its partners.

This role is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
