About the Roles
The largest of the Broads, Hickling is a year‑round haven for wildlife situated at the heart of a thriving local community and attracting a wide range of visitors. Bringing together workstreams in ecological management, estate management, visitor experience and engagement, this project is based on a shared vision and aims to deliver ecological, social and economic wellbeing outcomes for the nature reserve and the surrounding area.
The successful candidate will initially manage and co‑ordinate the development phase of the project to include the detailed planning and deliverables to successfully obtain permissions and funding for the delivery phase.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for a project manager with a proven track record of successfully delivering large‑scale, multidisciplinary strategic projects in cooperation with colleagues, partners and the local community, and for a senior projects officer to support and co‑ordinate the development phase. Excellent coordination and collaboration skills and the ability to drive delivery are essential to enable the organisation to bring our vision for a Wilder Hickling to life and to make an even greater impact for wildlife in Norfolk.
There is potential for this role to be extended into the delivery phase of the project subject to the successful outcomes of the development phase.
