Technical & Advice Manager

We are looking for an experienced, passionate, and highly organised manager with a strong background in ecology and conservation, who can lead our Nature Recovery Advisory Team.

These are exciting times for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. Last year, we undertook a review of our ambitious Wilder Nottinghamshire 2030 strategy to give even greater focus to our work on our land, with communities and partners, and through influencing others.

Following this strategy review, the Trust has aligned structures and roles to ensure that we are equipped to maximise our impact for nature, attract increased support and remain resilient and sustainable over the long term in a rapidly changing external environment.

The new structure has created a number of opportunities to bring in new talent, ideas and energy to the organisation, to make a strategic investment in our future capability.

Time is running out to address the joint nature and climate crises and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust has a hugely important role to play in our county, and as part of the wider Wildlife Trust movement, to help reverse local nature loss and mobilise action for nature recovery and we'd love you to join us.

As our Technical & Advice Manager, you will be leading the delivery of expert advice on land management, habitat restoration and species recovery to internal and external stakeholders, influencing key housing, infrastructure, minerals, energy generation and other significant developments in the county to secure gains for nature and create opportunities to generate income for NWT.

You will have a proven track record of leading on policy and best practice advice provision relating to planning and development, with excellent understanding of land management, habitat restoration and species recovery methodologies. You will be able to demonstrate excellent management skills with the ability to motivate, inspire and develop a highly effective team.

This post is subject to a Basic DBS Check. You will be required to travel so a driving licence is essential. We are planning to hold interviews on the 1st and 3rd of June 2026.

For full details of the role and its responsibilities, as well as details of the key experiences, skills and qualifications required, please refer to the Job Description, Person Specification and Recruitment Pack available on our website.
