A bit about the role
You’ll lead and deliver a busy but rewarding programme of conservation work across Gilwell Park, helping to improve habitats, boost biodiversity and create more opportunities for people to connect with nature. Guided by our new 10-year woodland management plan and best-practice conservation methods, you’ll take a hands-on approach to estate maintenance and habitat improvement across the site.
Working both independently and alongside staff teams, volunteers, corporate supporters and young people, you’ll help create meaningful change for nature and for visitors. From practical conservation tasks to wider estate projects, you’ll play a key role in shaping and protecting the natural environment at Gilwell Park.
You’ll also inspire others to get involved with the outdoors by improving access to nature, raising awareness and teaching practical habitat management skills. By leading volunteer work parties and supporting people of all ages to learn new skills, you’ll help others make a lasting impact at Gilwell Park and in the natural spaces they care about beyond Scouts.
