You will also:

  • Recognise the value of working together to achieve the best outcomes by actively seeking

  • Utilise your knowledge of the natural environment to support applicants to apply and engage
    with the opportunities presented by the Fund.

The team

    hundreds of volunteers every year to supporting an inclusive environment for people to visit
    and enjoy these special landscapes. We advise on major development proposals and administer
    community grants schemes to name a few.
  • This role is focused on the East Suffolk part of the exceptional Suffolk and Essex Coast
    and Heaths National Landscape; renowned for its wildlife-rich habitats, shingle beaches, and
    heathland together with productive agriculture and forestry and picture postcard coastal towns.
    How about that for your place of work?
  • We thrive on working in partnership with many organisations and have a well-established
    network that will support you in achieving in this role.
  • Contributing to the enhancement of the National Landscape is a rewarding experience.
    However, we know there is much more to do and we’re passionate about reversing the decline in
    nature and advocating for the best possible outcomes for the area when it comes to development
    pressures.
  • We have a well-resourced office base in central Ipswich, and the team works on a hybrid
    basis, with time spent in the office, working from home and on-site.
