Line managed by the Area Ranger, you'll be based from our office in Coniston in the heart of the Lake District and be part of our dynamic 25 strong countryside team, working in a supportive environment helping one another across the portfolio.

We care for some of the most spectacular and iconic parts of the Lake District (UNESCO World Heritage Site) around Coniston, Little Langdale and Hawkshead.

The portfolio has strong ties to Beatrix Potter, her beloved Hill Top House, and legacy of land, farms, buildings, artwork and Herdwick sheep. This includes the popular visitor destinations of Wray, Hill Top House, and the iconic Tarn Hows, which together welcome over 450,000 visitors a year.

As Ranger you will be helping to protect and care for habitats, wildlife, boundaries, and access infrastructure, around Hawkshead, Claife and Tarn Hows (c. 700ha of land). With an eye for detail, you'll make sure that the conservation work and outdoor experiences on the land in your care are of the highest standard.

You'll pass on your knowledge and enthusiasm for this landscape and build lasting relationships with our farm tenants, volunteers, local communities, and visitors.

We'd love to hear from you if you're:

  • practically experienced in conservation work, to protect and improve habitats and landscapes
  • happy to talk to all kinds of people about the work you're doing, and why it matters
  • hard-working and willing to learn
  • able to work safely, using risk assessments and following guidelines
  • experienced in managing land, access and conservation, and working outdoors
