Project Manager – Penwith Landscape Recovery

We are looking for an organised, conscientious, and friendly individual to lead on the delivery of Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s Penwith Landscape Recovery Project.

Want to be part of Cornwall’s wilder future? 

There is a new SSSI in the far west of Cornwall across the moors and downs of Penwith. It’s a
special and ancient place; rich in wildlife and ancient sites, yet still a living, working
landscape. However, the SSSI is in unfavourable condition and teeters on the edge of species
loss. The heathlands need to see widespread cattle grazing return. The fens need plentiful
clean water flowing in through the farmland if they are to become resilient and thrive once
again. This project will enable the many small family farms to rise to this challenge, for the
benefit of everyone. 

We are looking for a Project Manager to manage and work with staff, budgets, activity,
landowners, stakeholders, and funder liaison.

Develop the project through the two-year Project Development Phase and deliver a proposal for a
20 year long Project Implementation Phase for Penwith. 

By leading the project team, this role is critical to project delivery, in order to help
landowners involved in the project with their businesses and to have the largest positive long
term impact on species and habitat recovery across Penwith. 

Benefits:

• Cornwall Wildlife Trust operates excellent TOIL and flexible working policies.
• Enhanced company holiday entitlement – starting at 25 days plus bank holidays and rising to
  a maximum 30 days over a period of time (1 day extra for each year worked after 4 complete
  years served)
• All employees have access to the Employee Assistance Programme (24/7 counselling service)
  and Employee health and wellbeing portal
• Free onsite parking at Five Acres and King Edward Mine sites
• Cycle to Work (salary sacrifice) Scheme
• Stakeholder pension scheme
