Warwickshire Wildlife Trust (WWT) is one of the 46 UK Wildlife Trusts. We manage 67 nature reserves which total more than 1,000 hectares across Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull and no one living or working in that area is more than 6 miles from one of these wildlife havens.

Fundamental to our approach is our ambition to make more space for nature and inspire more people to be on nature’s side. To achieve that we must ensure our own estate is delivering this ambition and adapt and innovate to get the best outcomes for nature.

Our proposed Agricultural Task Force (ATF) will deliver exactly this. We need an ambitious individual, with a strong agricultural background, to lead on the transition to making our management more sustainable for the long term.

Simply put, that is using grazing animals and agricultural actions better on our own land to do more for wildlife. Whilst getting our house in order, the role will also evolve developing opportunities to deliver management on other people’s land, taking the ATF beyond our reserves boundary. This is key for us to reach our ambition and managing sites through grazing, cutting scrub and enhancing grasslands for others will increase our impact.

As an integral role in our Reserves Team, the Grazing Development Manager, your experience of livestock grazing and countryside management, this role is the perfect opportunity for someone to adapt and influence how the Trust operates and bring more nature back.

If you have a farming background, a passion for wildlife and land management and want to pioneer a unique project to meet our strategy, then this role may be for you.
