We are looking for a motivated and skilled person who can manage the complex challenges of nine nature reserves, ensuring sites are managed to the highest standard for both people and wildlife.

You will lead on developing local community groups/support for all the key sites, developing a sense of ownership and pride in the Valley Parks.
