The Trust’s estate has grown in recent years to almost 1,000 hectares. It includes iconic habitats and some outstanding exemplars of conservation land management. Some already have significant visitor footfall. We do not plan to expand our holding significantly, but we need to address two emerging priorities which will have implications for the way we manage our land. The first is the need to attract a more diverse audience to spend time in key nature reserves, whilst maintaining the highest standards of ecological management. The second is to acquire and manage land to demonstrate the conservation potential of new ‘green finance’ mechanisms such as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).

**What you will be doing**:
We’re looking for someone who can help our nature reserves play an enhanced role in achieving our strategic goals in conservation, people engagement, and natural capital.

Ideally you will come in and get to know our reserves and the reserve team members, you’ll be able to identify improvements that can be made and take leadership of the team. Taking a strategic view on the land we have; you’ll work on how to get the wider public involved in our reserves and look at new options for funding.

**What we’re looking for**:

- Significant experience of land management / conservation / Estate Management or another relevant sector.
- Strong leadership and organisational skills are essential (deleted full stop.)

Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) works across Shropshire (including Telford & Wrekin) to confront the ‘triple emergency’ of climate crisis, ecological crisis, and people’s inequitable connection with nature. We combine advocacy and campaigning with projects to restore nature and to engage people. We manage 41 nature reserves, and we have 46 staff, 500 volunteers, and over 9000 members. SWT is an autonomous charity, but we are increasingly working collectively as part of The Wildlife Trusts (TWT) to ensure that our local actions have a national impact and help to address global issues.
