It’s an exciting time to join the team, in a varied role that will allow you to use your conservation, access and visitor engagement experience to deliver high quality land management, conservation, access and presentation standards across our land around Hawkshead, Claife and Tarn Hows in the South Lakes.

What it's like to work here

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. Our 4000ha countryside estate is a diverse range of habitats from woodlands and wood pasture to meadows and wetlands. 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.



What you'll be doing

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 long lasting relationships with our farm tenants, volunteers, local communities, and visitors, letting people know about the work you and the team are delivering and facilitating opportunities for them to get involved.
