Forsinard Flows Scotland, United Kingdom RSPB Full time

The Forsinard Flows National Nature Reserve consists of a huge expanse of designated blanket peatland, which is part of the largest terrestrial Special Area for Conservation in the UK, and part of the tentative World Heritage Site bid. The 21,000+ha reserve has a diverse range of habitats, including peatland, montane and woodland, holding good numbers of nationally rare breeding birds as well as a plethora of rare plants. Our peatland restoration work is both highly novel, and very sensitive, and informs forestry policy on deep peat at a UK level. We therefore need to ensure that we seek the evidence that allows us to find the best approaches, and then be able to show that these approaches work, both for carbon and biodiversity, this is ground-breaking work Monitoring is the key stone of our work and we have invested significant efforts in building a collaborative research programme with multiple external partners, and this is now the most extensive of any on an RSPB reserve in the UK and includes some of the longest running peatland restoration monitoring schemes in the UK.

We are looking for a Site Manager to help lead our team at Forsinard both in terms of the planning and implementation of our ambitious conservation management objectives and on how we engage with our visitors and the local community.

You must have a proven track record of strong people management skills, budget management, partnership working, community engagement, and land management. This post leads in the delivery of habitat restoration, as well as the day to day running of the reserve. Deer management is a key part of how we manage this site and some knowledge/experience of this would be an advantage. Being able to get on with our neighbours is important to us at this site and experience of community liaison would certainly help. We are looking for someone with a proven track record of strong people management skills, both in direct line management, and external contract management, and with a pragmatic understanding of the complexities of managing a Highland estates. 

Essential skills, knowledge, and experience:

  • You will have a pragmatic understanding of land management in the Scottish Highlands.
