National Landscapes Association
About Us
The National Landscapes Association represents and supports the UK’s National Landscapes (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) – places where we want nature and people to flourish together. These living, protected landscapes are vital to the UK’s nature recovery, climate resilience, sustainable farming and wellbeing.
We work collaboratively and inclusively to ensure these treasured places are protected, restored, and accessible to all. Our policy work is central to this mission – and we’re looking for a proficient and motivated individual to help shape and drive it forward.
About the Role
You’ll be motivated by working to help National Landscapes, along with the other protected landscapes, be the backbone of nature recovery within the UK through national commitments such as the Protected Landscapes Targets and Outcomes Framework and 30by30. With experience of working in the environmental or social sectors, you’ll be skilled at using evidence and knowledge when building positive relationships and supporting our partners in using resources effectively.
Based within the National Landscapes Association, you will work closely with colleagues from across Association, the individual National Landscapes and the Protected Landscapes Partnership.
Key Responsibilities
- Working with individual National Landscapes, develop a framework for a Vision of Nature in 2050 in the National Landscapes
- Support work on a standardised framework for valuing natural capital across the protected landscapes
- Maintain and update the National Landscape Association GIS system
- Support Big Chalk in developing a spatial prioritisation tool and sitting on the panel for reviewing applications to the Big Chalk Nature Recovery Fund
- Contribute to the development of the National Landscapes Association as the leading voice on protected and designated landscapes in the UK
