With a passion for wildlife and access, you’ll enjoy working with nature and want to inspire others. You’ll help make a range of important habitats for wildlife even better for nature and make everyone feel welcome at our places.
The project aims to restore 500 hectares of habitats, reconnect fragmented ecosystems and empower people from all backgrounds to train in nature recovery. Trainees and volunteers will get hands-on experience at a new hub, hosted at Ty Mawr farm, which will also help the wider community connect with nature through countryside skills.
This is a great opportunity to drive an ambitious project funded by the Nature Networks Fund, which will greatly improve habitats for nature, offer opportunities for people to develop skills in the countryside sector and inspire more people to get outside.

This project is funded by the Nature Networks Programme. It is being delivered by the Heritage Fund, on behalf of the Welsh Government.

What you'll be doing
As Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing the project team and ensuring the project achieves its ambitious targets. You’ll run the Project Board, work with the local team, national specialists and partners such as NRW and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, amongst others. You’ll be moving the project from a planning application to reality.
