Introduction
Are you looking to combine your passion for nature with your land management and communication skills? If so this is the prefect role for you! Set in the North West Highlands, RSPB Corrimony reserve is part of the iconic Glen Affric landscape. We are looking for a site manager to be based in the local community and manage our nature reserve. We need to assist the site to recover from the wildfire that swept across it last year by working with local communities, graziers, deer managers and other charities to replace trees that were lost across the 1,700 ha site.
What's the role about?
The reserve covers 1,700 ha of woodland, bog, moorland and freshwater loch. We have significant populations of black grouse, crested tit, Scottish crossbill and many other species that we manage the reserve for.
The role is responsible for delivering all of management across the site. This will be done directly, working with local farmers, deer managers, foresters, government bodies and other conservation charities. You’ll often be leading projects and working on your own, so you will need to be enthusiastic, have loads of initiative, be diplomatic and able to communicate your passion for nature to others.
You will be part of RSPB’s South Highland team and the role is home based, with a strong preference for being part of the local community.
