Join Us in Growing a Greener Future

Western Forest – part of England’s National Forest network and hosted by the Forest of Avon Trust – is driving an ambitious mission to restore nature, improve wellbeing, and create a climate-resilient landscape across the West of England.

We're expanding our team and looking for a Woodland Management Lead to help shape the future of our region’s trees and woodlands. If you’re passionate about woodland resilience, biodiversity, and supporting landowners to manage woodlands sustainably, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

About the Role

As our Woodland Management Lead, you will lead the delivery of woodland management across the Western Forest, helping us bring 1,500 hectares of woodland into active, sustainable management.

This is a varied and rewarding role combining project management, technical forestry expertise, grant scheme development, and stakeholder engagement. You’ll work closely with landowners, forestry agents, farmers, community groups, and partner organisations to enhance woodlands for ecological, economic, and social benefit.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading woodland management projects, from planning to on-the-ground delivery
• Providing trusted technical advice on forestry and woodland management
• Preparing Forestry Commission Woodland Management Plans
• Developing and managing a woodland management grant scheme
• Engaging with landowners, farmers and stakeholders to promote best practice
• Delivering workshops to build skills and confidence in woodland management

About You

We're looking for someone who combines forestry expertise with strong project management and communication skills. You’ll thrive when coordinating multiple partners and enjoy supporting others to improve woodland health and resilience.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

We believe a diverse team creates stronger, more resilient outcomes. We warmly welcome applications from under‑represented groups in forestry and the environmental sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and those from lower socio‑economic backgrounds.

We operate a blind shortlisting process to ensure fairness and focus on your skills and experience. If you need reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know.

Any questions or if you’d like to have an informal discussion before applying, please email Jack McCrickard, Woodland and Nature Recovery Manager on the email address provided in the job pack on our website.

Intended interviews during week commencing Monday 9 March 2026.

We will inform all applicants of the outcome of your application but we may not be able to provide individual feedback to all applicants.

Our client is an independent, Lambeth-based, grant-making foundation and charity with roots from the early 17th century. Their work aims to break cycles of financial deprivation for people living in Lambeth by awarding grants to individuals, organisations and community groups. The foundation’s grant-making is primarily focused on improving education and employment opportunities of young Lambeth residents from low-income backgrounds. This is an exciting time to join the organisation which is in the early stages of an evolving strategic review.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with the foundation on their search for a Grants Officer, who will support the Head of Grants and the wider team in the development of a place-based grants strategy. This is a full-time, permanent position based in Lambeth, London (Hybrid working – 2 days from home 3 days in the office).

The role:
This role will work across all aspects of the foundation’s grant-making activities including assessing and administering grant applications from individuals, working with organisations to develop effective and appropriate reporting and supporting the development of new streams of work. The role requires lots of contact with Grantees (initially via email and telephone) and will involve monitoring & evaluation, project development and administration process management. This role will also contribute ideas towards planning new initiatives and keeping abreast of trends and issues facing the voluntary sector, both nationally and in the Lambeth area.

The work requires outstanding attention to detail and effective time management. The post holder will also undertake assessments in relation to grants to organisations, and other grant-making duties and functions as required by the Head of Grants. The post will sit alongside an existing team of three who also undertake multiple roles to ensure the foundation’s grant-making is consistent, focussed and effective.

The person:
This person will have a high level of intellectual and analytical ability, this could be evidenced by having studied to degree level, a professional qualification of some kind or having worked at a comparable level of complexity in a professional office-based environment. They will have a solid understanding of the issues facing young people (18 to 30) from low-income backgrounds and will have the ability to present clear written assessment reports, making recommendations and decisions and the ability to think strategically as well as practically, to ensure the foundation is living its values. They will have excellent attention to detail and will be an effective time manager. Ideally, this person will have experience of Salesforce database (or similar) and possibly have a local knowledge of Lambeth and the surrounding areas.

IT competent, numerate, and highly organised, this person will have experience of grant-making or at least an understanding of its principles, hopefully a knowledge of the welfare and benefits framework and will be fully appreciative of the issues raised in a multi-cultural setting and an understanding of and a commitment to, issues of diversity and equality. Above all this person will recognise the importance and value of the work of the foundation and will be fully committed to bringing everything they have to the table, in supporting and driving forward the charitable aims and objectives of the organisation, whilst contributing to a happy, proactive and collaborative team working environment.

This role represents a superb opportunity for someone with great experience of community based services who would like to see the systems they are working in from a different perspective or for someone who has been predominantly office based who would like to spend more time with a wide range of different people in the community.
