The Green Action Trust is Scotland’s leading environmental regeneration charity and has been
planting and managing woodland in Central Scotland for four decades. We are a trusted delivery
partner for the Scottish Government and a wide range of stakeholders including local
authorities, regional partnerships, landowners, environmental groups, and local communities. We
are passionate about delivering positive environmental and social change in Scotland and are
seeking candidates who have a similar passion to help us deliver and grow our activities.

To meet our objectives, the expectations of our partners and to play our part in responding to
the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, we are pleased to be recruiting for a
Forester into our organisation. The Forester role involves undertaking the design of new
woodlands, management planning of existing woodlands, project/contract management, tendering,
and contractor oversight. Our Foresters work in a variety of locations, including urban centres
and remote areas.

Applications are sought from individuals with:

  • Relevant academic qualifications or evidence of relevant experience delivering forestry
    projects.
  • Excellent communication skills, computer literacy and confidence in using GIS.
  • A positive, solution orientated and flexible attitude to their work.
  • Good knowledge of the Forestry Grant Scheme, WIAT, and urban forest management.
  • Professional membership of the Institute of Chartered Foresters is desirable.

Please see our Forester Recruitment Pack for more details.

At the Green Action Trust we believe that staff should enjoy their work. We support a strong
work life balance through flexible and hybrid working, training and support, a range of staff
activities throughout the year and a strong employee support package.

This is a permanent, full-time position, based from our office in Stepps, North Lanarkshire
(with home working). Flexible working would be considered. As travel within Scotland will be
required, a clean driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
