ABOUT US
The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity.  We want to see a world where trees and woods thrive for people and nature. The Trust engages and inspires people to make their difference tackling the nature and climate crisis helping protect, restore and create our vital woods and trees.  

THE ROLE
We’re recruiting two Land and Property Managers – one for the South East of England and one for Central England. Please specify your preference in your application.

Working as part of a UK wide team, you’ll manage all land and property acquisition, disposal, legal, tenancy and agricultural aspects of Woodland Trust sites in support of the regional estate teams, engaging with external parties, leading on internal approval processes, assisting with BPS/CS applications and instructing in-house solicitors or specialist agents or consultants. 

By building and maintaining effective relationships with the land owning / land agency community, you’ll help to meet the Trust’s aims and as a means of sourcing land-based opportunities. You will also assist in delivering the UK Land Plan as it applies to the region. 

THE CANDIDATE
You will be a qualified Chartered Surveyor, preferably with a rural practice background, and a strong knowledge of rural land use policies.

Using your initiative, you’ll be adept at identifying and exploring opportunities to deliver the Trust’s aims whilst maximising a budget in a cost-effective manner. You will be efficient and able to perform to a high standard in a constantly changing external environment, managing risks, identifying and capitalising on opportunities in line with the Trust’s cause.

A full driving licence and ability to undertake travel across a wide area, sometimes to remote locations is essential, with occasional overnight stays.

WHAT TO EXPECT BY JOINING A TEAM AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE
There’s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Joining the team you will be making your contribution to tackling the nature and climate crisis. In return, we recognise and value our people. You'll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a contributory pension, life assurance, good holiday allowance and the opportunity to work flexibly from home. 

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY & INCLUSION 
At the Woodland Trust, we want to reflect and represent the full richness of diversity in the UK. Fewer of our employees are Black, Asian or minority ethnic; disabled; from lower socio-economic backgrounds or under 25; so we are particularly keen to receive your application if you are from one or more of these groups. We can also discuss anything you may need to achieve your full potential at any stage of the process. We assess your application solely on your demonstrated suitability for the job. Nothing else.
