Conservation & Wildlife


We are looking for an experienced, passionate, and highly organised Ranger with a background of practical conservation and countryside management to join our Nature Reserves 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 one of our Rangers, will take responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of practical habitat management across our suite of nature reserves, including our flagship Idle Valley Nature Reserve and Attenborough Nature Reserve and to support opportunities for public engagement on our reserves.

You will have knowledge of UK habitats and species and the principles of their conservation as well as experience of delivering practical conservation initiatives and countryside management.

This post is subject to a Basic DBS Check. You will be expected to travel across the county, so a driving licence is essential. We are planning to hold interviews in w/c 8 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 and Person Specification.
