We are looking for a motivated and skilled person who can manage the complex challenges of nine nature reserves, ensuring sites are managed to the highest standard for both people and wildlife.

You will lead on developing local community groups/support for all the key sites, developing a sense of ownership and pride in the Valley Parks. You will also assist in developing a long-term vision for the Valley Parks; there is a great opportunity to take stock and re-envisage current management for key sites.

The successful candidate will need broad ranging experience in habitat management and restoration, access provision and a detailed approach to ensuring public safety across all sites.
