Wild Haweswater is a collaborative partnership between RSPB and United Utilities at the heart of the English Lake District. This is an exciting and varied role that presents a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference for nature, at scale!

What's the role about?

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in driving and overseeing a significant and complex work programme across Haweswater with a wider landscape impact.

Haweswater has long been an important site for demonstrating innovative techniques for habitat restoration, sustainable agriculture and upland management and remains one of our most important demonstration sites where we spend a significant amount of time hosting visits to the reserve.

Management on the reserve is often multi-layered and complex, so good project management skills twinned with forward thinking, and a keen willingness to solve practical problems will be required.

The successful candidate will have an important external role, building positive relationships with key partners and stakeholders, so that partnerships policies and messages are understood and furthered within relevant partnerships, communities, the media and to a range of stakeholders and decision makers.
