The heart of our operation is on a remote and beautiful 766-acre island. In 2026 we will become a Scottish charity - The Tanera Project – with core purposes spanning rural regeneration, resilience building in our public services via the provision of respite breaks, and ecosystem restoration.
We are looking for a Team Lead to take on the coordination of our Land and Estates Team across our island and mainland properties, totalling 6,500 acres of grounds, in-bye land, woodland and hill. The team has a wide remit, including grasskeeping, landscaping, regenerative agriculture on a crofting-scale, livestock, stalking, fishing, horses, guest activities, and supporting our gardens, ecology and path teams with extra hands when needed. The team is five strong, supported by seasonal hands, volunteers and staff from other teams working multifunctionally.
Our land management approach balances production, nature, and heritage, with an emphasis on using the land to build communities. We share everything we do with guests and volunteers so planning for and delivering shared activities is a core part of the role. We deliver our activities with an impeccable aesthetic centred round heritage, industry and creativity, requiring a real eye for detail. The Land and Estates Team covers several core functions in the charity and has a diverse remit with competing priorities so this role will appeal to proven leaders, able to deliver both on the ground and in terms of planning and organisation.

They will have an interest in landscape scale regeneration that is attentive to heritage, productivity (food and more) and ecosystems. The salary for this role will be £40-50kpa, depending on experience.
Resilience
Our team comes from across the country and further afield. We have our own growing island community of staff, guests and volunteers, while also being embedded in mainland life in nearby crofting townships and villages. The work of the Land and Estates team is wide-ranging and there are also opportunities to work with different teams and on different projects, sail heritage boats, work with our horses, host guests, school groups and volunteers, and generally get involved with island life. We will be happy to discuss flexible shift patterns and accommodation options with the right candidate.
Restoration
The project is delivering stunning, sympathetic builds and charitable hospitality in an area of outstanding natural and cultural heritage. You will be working amid a range of unique Northwest Highland marine and terrestrial ecosystems, which we are striving to conserve and extend. We foster a culture of care, attention to detail, and creativity in everything we deliver for The Tanera Project charity, from looking after our guests, workforce, volunteers and local communities to growing and sourcing our food to restoring buildings and landscapes.
We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated leader with excellent practical and organisational skills, an eye for detail and a good sense of humour, who will thrive in a leadership role on a challenging project. If you think this role might be for you then please send in your cover letter and up to date CV.

- Manage the budget, financial reporting, and stakeholder relationships.
Skills Required

LOCATION: LSE Students’ Union, Central London Office
WORKING HOURS: Full time, 37 hours per week
CONTRACT TYPE: Fixed term, until 31st December 2026
This brand-new role is all about turning ideas into action. As our Strategic Projects Coordinator, you’ll be the driving force behind the successful delivery of high-impact projects and campaigns led by our elected Sabbatical Officers. You’ll work closely with the Officer team to plan, manage, and evaluate projects that shape the student experience – from defining objectives and establishing clear timelines to coordinating resources and mitigating risks. You can expect to navigate complex and politically sensitive environments, balancing the different priorities of our Officer team.
Your work will include developing clear project roadmaps, implementing effective communication strategies to engage the student community, and supporting our Officers to engage with national campaigns that impact student wellbeing. You’ll also play a key role in advising Officers on policy changes, gathering data and insights to inform evidence-based initiatives, and reporting back on progress to senior leadership and trustees.
Beyond project delivery, you’ll provide training and coaching to help Officers develop strong leadership and project management skills, and you’ll coordinate flagship events such as handovers, inductions, and residentials. This is a fast-paced, varied role where your ability to research, organise and innovate will make a tangible difference to thousands of students.
Who are we?

Collaboration is key as you’ll need to build strong relationships with students, staff, and external partners in order to deliver projects successfully.
You’ll bring a proven track record in managing projects from start to finish. Your communication skills will set you apart – whether you’re drafting reports, presenting updates, or facilitating training, we are looking for someone who will do so with clarity and impact. You’ll also be comfortable interpreting data and feedback to inform decisions and improve processes.
We’d love to see experience in delivering training or coaching, as you’ll play a vital role in developing the leadership and project management skills of our Sabbatical Officers. Knowledge of the Higher Education sector and issues affecting students is essential, and a recognised project management qualification would be a bonus.
Why apply?
As our Strategic Projects Coordinator, you will have a chance to make a real impact on student life at one of the world’s leading universities. You’ll work in a collaborative, values-driven environment, supporting passionate student leaders and shaping initiatives that matter. We offer:
