Introduction

This is an exciting opportunity to join RSPB Cymru and lead delivery of the Caletwr Catchment Integrated Natural Resources Scheme (INRS), funded by the Welsh Government, in Conwy, North Wales.

Working closely with a cluster of farmers and a wide range of strategic partners, the project will demonstrate how sustainable farming and food production can deliver significant benefits for nature and natural resources. It directly supports key RSPB Cymru priorities, including peatland restoration and Curlew conservation.

A central focus of the role is establishing effective, joined-up advice and support for farmers engaging with the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), helping to shape delivery at both farm and landscape scale.

About the role

As INRS Project Manager, you will provide overall leadership, coordination and delivery of the Caletwr Catchment Project. You will establish robust governance, manage budgets and resources, and ensure delivery remains focused on agreed priorities and outcomes.

Strong partnership working is essential. You will work closely with the farmer cluster and key partners including Natural Resources Wales, Eryri National Park Authority, The National Trust and other advisory bodies.

You will provide strategic direction and day-to-day support to the Farm Support Specialist and project team, ensuring effective delivery of joined-up advice and coordination to achieve landscape-scale objectives such as Curlew recovery. While primarily a leadership role, it will also involve selective hands-on engagement where this strengthens delivery, resilience or impact, including farmer engagement and practical action.

You will also oversee knowledge transfer, engagement and demonstration activities, including outreach to farmers beyond the immediate cluster within the wider Important Curlew Area.

Key responsibilities

As Project Manager, you will:

• Structure delivery into clear work packages with defined milestones and manage the project budget against forecast.
• Take overall responsibility for progress, performance and use of resources, initiating corrective action where needed.
• Produce accurate and timely project management documentation, including reports and financial claims.
• Lead procurement and oversee contractors.
• Provide leadership, support and clear direction to the Farm Support Specialist and project team.
• Contribute directly to advisory or practical delivery where appropriate, including site visits, farmer meetings, demonstrations or priority actions.

Project outputs and wider responsibilities

You will ensure:

• Effective collaboration between farmers, RSPB colleagues and external advisers to deliver objectives through the SFS and mechanisms such as Farming Connect.
• Regular communication and engagement with decision-makers and stakeholders, including Welsh Government and statutory agencies.
• Development of a credible legacy plan with partners to sustain and scale delivery beyond the project lifetime (e.g. via the SFS Collaborative Layer).
• A well-managed project close, including final reporting, follow-on actions, and clear communication of outcomes and lessons learned.

Essential skills, knowledge and experience

• Strong financial management skills and attention to detail.
• Experience working within a structured project management framework (e.g. PRINCE2 or equivalent).
• Experience delivering complex, multi-partner projects.
• Proven leadership and influencing skills without direct line management authority.
• Ability to produce clear, concise written communications for diverse audiences.
• Strong facilitation, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent organisational and time-management ability.
• Degree-level qualification in a relevant subject or equivalent experience.

Desirable skills, knowledge and experience

• Experience turning conservation evidence, policy or agri-environment schemes into effective delivery.
• Knowledge of Welsh farming, agricultural systems and rural culture.
• Ability to communicate in Welsh, spoken and written.

Closing date: 23:59, Friday, 29th May 2026

About Chapter One 

Chapter One is a dynamic, growing charity with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive. Our mission is to close the reading gap by providing children with one-to-one support at the time they need it most. We work in thirteen areas/regions of the UK and will support over 4,000 children in 2026-27.

Our unique Online Reading Volunteer programme pairs struggling five to seven-year old (Y1-3) readers with reading support volunteers who are working professionals. The volunteer ask is very focused: readers commit 30 minutes a week to read with a child using a bespoke digital platform for an entire academic year. The results are transformative, boosting children's reading confidence and ability. 

From a school perspective, online reading volunteers provide direct, meaningful literacy support for up to 10 pupils per class. The programme is particularly suitable for communities where it might be challenging to find parents and other volunteers who can commit to physically visiting schools to boost reading.

• Create regular data summaries for all participating classrooms.

• Lead annual review meetings for senior leadership at participating schools.

• Weekly communication and status updates with Senior Programme Manager(s) and wider team.

• As a new school year approaches, secure commitments from returning schools and help find and target new schools to join Chapter One’s programme.

Your days will be varied and meaningful. You might be visiting someone at home, offering calm reassurance over the phone, or working closely with other professionals to make sure the right support is in place. We operate a triage system for new referrals and you will play your part in making sure people are responded to quickly and thoughtfully. You will manage your own caseload, keeping clear and accurate records, while always seeing the person behind the paperwork.

- The ability to manage your workload effectively, with appropriate support and tools, and to balance competing priorities.
- Confidence using IT systems to maintain accurate and confidential records.
- A compassionate, non-judgemental and person-centred approach, with respect for diversity and individual lived experiences.

- Provide personalised information, advice and emotional support that reflects each person’s culture, background, values and preferences.
- Deliver support through home visits, telephone contact and partnership working other professionals.
- Participate in the triage rota, ensuring new referrals are handled promptly, sensitively and equitably.
- Manage a defined caseload, maintaining accurate, respectful and confidential records.
- Signpost and connect individuals to appropriate local services and community networks, reducing isolation and increasing access to support.
