Job description

With a passion for wildlife and access, you’ll enjoy working with nature and want to inspire and motivate others. You’ll help to make a range of important habitats for wildlife even better for nature and make everyone feel welcome at our places.

The project aims to restore 500 hectares of habitats, reconnect fragmented ecosystems, and empower people from all backgrounds to train in nature recovery. Trainees and volunteers will gain hands-on experience at a new hub, hosted at Ty Mawr farm, which will also help the wider community connect with nature through countryside skills.

This is a great opportunity to drive an ambitious project funded by the Nature Networks Fund, which will greatly improve habitats for nature, offer opportunities for people to develop skills in the countryside sector, and inspire more people to get outside.

Based in our estate office in Libanus, you’ll cover a range of sites across the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. This is a part-time opportunity offering 22.5 hours per week and a 31-month fixed-term contract.

This role is available from August 2025; however, we may consider an earlier start date to fit the successful candidate’s availability.

This project is funded by the Nature Networks Programme. It is being delivered by the Heritage Fund, on behalf of the Welsh Government.
