We are the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, an organisation that protects, enhances and promotes the immense beauty, wildlife and character of the Yorkshire Dales.

The Benefits
The Role
You will hold a key strategic role in managing and supporting the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway National Trails Partnership, wider working groups and stakeholders to ensure the efficient implementation of the Delivery Framework and Quality Standards for the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway National Trails.
You will be responsible for the day to day management of the Partnership including preparing, managing and presenting the annual budget for maintenance works along both routes based on the annual condition survey in conjunction with partner organisations. The Pennine Way will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2025 so planning for a year of celebration will be very much part of the role over the coming year.
