From the bustle of the UK's second city to the big skies of the Fens, the varied landscapes you’ll cover in this exciting role will make sure no two days are the same. Covering four counties of Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Birmingham and Warwickshire you'll manage a wide-reaching team in truly varied places.

This is a full time, permanent role offering £64500 - £68500 depending on fit for the role.

What it's like to work here:Reporting to the Regional Director for the Midlands and East of England region, you'll be a part of the regional management team, working together to bring the national strategy to life in all the places you’re responsible for.

The Trust was founded on the belief that nature, beauty and history are for everyone, so a priority for us today is making sure that we’re an inclusive place to work, and that everyone feels welcome at the places in our care.

You’ll champion an inclusive and fair approach to all and find new ways to provide access for all at the places you look after.
