**John Muir Way Project and Relationship Officer**
Are you a talented individual looking to develop your career in a progressive
conservation organisation? The reason the John Muir Trust exists - to conserve,
protect and repair wild places for the benefit of everyone - has never been more
important.
We are looking for someone with a mix of communications and partnership skills who is looking for
the opportunity to develop their experience working on a landmark project.
This is a new role as the John Muir Trust takes on the interim management of the John Muir Way
- the 134-mile coast-to-coast route from Dunbar to Helensburgh - starting from September 2023.
We’re looking for someone to join our team to help support day-to-day communications, coordination and management of the John Muir Way, specifically co-ordinating activities and plans
for the John Muir Way through partnerships, including with eleven access authorities.
Sitting within the Trust’s Development and Communications team, the role will also support a
project team within the John Muir Trust tasked with taking a lead role to work with external partners
to develop a new vision for the John Muir Way, including investigating new governance and funding
models for the trail. The role will support the project team to develop a business case exploring
options for the long-term management of the John Muir Way.
The post is therefore for an initial 18-month period.
The John Muir Trust is committed to working together to promote a more inclusive environment
and we need a diverse team to realise this. Applicants are welcome from all walks of life with diverse
backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences to support our work on behalf of wild places.
Main responsibilities
Key duties
You will act as a key point of contact for internal and external relationships for the John Muir Way.
Your role will see you interact and maintain records across multiple stakeholders, specifically as a
key member of the project team formed within the Trust and also as a first point of contact for the
public, Trust members and partners relating to John Muir Way activities. You will support the
Trust’s project team to be organised and effective during the period of the interim management, as
the team develops a business case and related proposals for the future management of the John
Muir Way.
