You will be required to demonstrate extensive woodland creation experience with a proven track record in successful project management. Experience writing and delivering Forestry Commission approved grant applications is also a must, as well as previous volunteer and contractor engagement and the delivery of tree planting schemes experience.

An understanding of the issues and challenges in urban forestry as well as knowledge of landscape scale approaches to the protection and enhancement of natural heritage is also required.

A full driving licence and/or the ability to travel around the North Lincolnshire area is essential.

Joining our progressive and welcoming team will bring a range of benefits, including:
  • A competitive salary
  • A comprehensive induction
  • Excellent CPD opportunities
