Salary:
£29,870 - £38,110 per annum
Contract type: Permanent
Working hours: Full time
Location: Callow Rock, Shipham Gorge, Cheddar BS27 3DQ (Opportunity for Hybrid Working).

Are you deeply knowledgeable about Somerset’s habitats, communities, peatland environments and wildlife, with the ability to turn that local understanding into impactful nature‑recovery projects? Are you an experienced project manager who can lead funding, partnerships and delivery to protect and restore peatlands for people, wildlife and the climate?

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the development, funding, and delivery of nature recovery projects across Somerset, with a primary focus on the Somerset Peatland Partnership during the first two years of the role.

  • Build and manage strong partnerships with local authorities, conservation organisations, contractors, and communities
  • Coordinate and support the Somerset Peatland Partnership, helping to protect, preserve, and restore peatlands across the county
  • Line‑manage project staff where required and promote best practice project management approaches

We are looking for someone with proven project management experience, strong financial and organisational skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across multiple stakeholders. Knowledge of conservation, land management, or environmental projects would be particularly valuable.
