We are looking for an organised, dynamic, and passionate person to lead the team and work

Wild Haweswater is a collaborative partnership between RSPB and United Utilities at the heart
of the English Lake District. This is an exciting and varied role that presents a fantastic
opportunity to make a real difference for nature, at scale Haweswater is one of the RSPB's
most significant flagship upland reserves, and this role will see the successful candidate
drive forward our joint landscape scale conservation delivery and working to re-enable natural
processes on this extensive site.

To make a success of this opportunity, you will be a capable manager with the ability to work
well with a broad range of contacts, both within the RSPB and United Utilities and beyond. You

Atlantic oak woodland and flower rich hay meadows. We have undertaken a significant programme
of high-profile habitat restoration works to date, including peatland restoration, upland

cattle grazing utilising NoFence technology, to deliver our ecological land management. The
reserve sits at the heart of Cumbria Connect, a landscape scale restoration project with us
featuring as a core site alongside our neighbours and partners at Lowther Estate. The role will
see you working closely alongside our wider conservation team and partners alike.

restoration, sustainable agriculture and upland management and remains one of our most
important demonstration sites where we spend a significant amount of time hosting visits to the
reserve.

Management on the reserve is often multi-layered and complex, so good project management skills
twinned with forward thinking, and a keen willingness to solve practical problems will be
required.

The successful candidate will have an important external role, building positive relationships
with key partners and stakeholders, so that partnerships policies and messages are understood
and furthered within relevant partnerships, communities, the media and to a range of
stakeholders and decision makers.

    habitats, especially in the uplands
