We are looking for an experienced and talented nature conservationist with leadership experience or potential, who excels at project development and partnership working. Ideally you will also have substantial ecological knowledge. We need an inspirational and collaborative person who will contribute a great deal to the Trust team. We seek someone who is excited by the opportunities – and challenges – of life in Scilly, and who shares our passion for keeping Scilly special.

If this sounds like you, then we look forward to your application for this key job which is pivotal to our prospects for future success.

The Isles of Scilly have a significant housing crisis, and many people are unable to find accommodation for themselves on Scilly. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we shall be able to provide housing for our Conservation Manager. As part of the application process we shall be asking candidates to indicate what their plans would be for accommodating themselves in Scilly.

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust is the only charity managing land for wildlife in Scilly. We are the UK’s smallest Wildlife Trust, but we are also the Trust with by far the greatest impact in relation to the scale of our place. We are responsible for about half of the land across the Isles of Scilly. We are central to the tourism industry and a very large part of the local voluntary sector. We manage our land for rare species and habitats, for its outstanding archaeological interest, and to provide access, enjoyment and understanding to local people and visitors.

Submission deadline: 10am, Monday 29th April.
