• Prepare responses on behalf of the NPA to local, regional and national consultations on policies related to land use such as rural development, agriculture, agri- environment, deer management, land reform etc.


• Provide expert advice and information to land managers, other agencies and organisations and within the NPA on matters relating to various forms of land management activity in the Park, and support related monitoring systems and research.


• Develop and support initiatives which promote wider understanding of the opportunities and benefits associated with positive land management in the Park.


• Develop and maintain the necessary partnerships and engagement with land managers; other agencies and organisations; interest groups; and the wider community to secure support for the development and delivery of defined priorities and outcomes.


• Undertake any other duties appropriate to the grade as required.

Who we are looking for:

Your skills, abilities and experience should include:


• Experience of developing and maintaining positive working relationships with land managers.


• Experience of developing management plans and/or prescriptions at the level of individual sites, whole farms or estates and/or local regions (e.g. landscapes, catchments, etc).


• Comprehensive understanding of land managers' practical, economic and regulatory imperatives.


• Comprehensive knowledge of land use systems, specifically including livestock farming, forestry, and conservation.


• Articulate with excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills.


• Computer literate.


• A degree, or equivalent in a land management/ environmental management/ agriculture/ forestry/ nature conservation discipline

Ideally, but not essential, you'll also have:


• Experience of developing applications to the Scottish Rural Development Programme and other relevant funding sources.


• Experience in procuring and managing external services and contracts.


• Corporate Membership of a relevant professional body, e.g. RICS, CIEEM, ICF.

How to apply:

If you are interested in this role, complete your application by 9am on 27 May 2024.
