The post holder will report to the Estates Manager South East to manage our existing and emerging sites.  This will involve close working with Land Trust colleagues, managing agents, partners and external stakeholders across the South East of the country.

Commercial revenue generating opportunities should be identified and delivered wherever appropriate. Close working with the Communications team will be essential in ensuring the sites are promoted and marketed effectively.

The post holder will also help to champion the impact well maintained open spaces have in the creation and development of sustainable communities and more generally will assist in promoting the Trust.

Essential Experience:

• A minimum of 3 years’ experience  in managing parks, woodlands, nature reserves and other open spaces for public benefit
