About Us

Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the county’s largest environmental charity, working for the protection and enhancement of Norfolk’s wildlife and wild places. We protect and restore our county's wild spaces by managing our nature reserves, working in partnership throughout the landscape and inspiring people to enjoy and care for Norfolk's nature through projects, education activities, events and campaigns.

This is an exciting time for Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Wildlife needs us now, more than ever. And changes are afoot that will help us do more for wildlife right across the landscape. Wildlife needs bigger, better and more connected places to live. And policies are beginning to change in our favour. There are new funding streams in biodiversity, carbon, nutrients and water. And there are new sources of income from businesses. This, coupled with a growing public understanding of the value of nature means that there are many new opportunities for nature’s recovery in Norfolk.

We have bold ambitions to harness these changes. In addition to managing over 60 sites for wildlife, we are building a Nature Recovery team, who will achieve sustainable nature recovery at scale across Norfolk.

About the Nature Recovery Team

Our Nature Recovery Team will protect and recover biodiversity on land and at sea, increase the area of land managed and restored for nature across Norfolk and connect wild spaces for nature’s recovery.

To achieve this, we will work alongside a wide variety of landowners, businesses, conservation organisations, town planners, funders and communities.

And this is where you come in!

Wilder Landscapes Manager Role Purpose

The purpose of the role is to accelerate nature’s recovery across Norfolk, leading a team developing and implementing a clear offer to farmers, landowners, and communities, inspiring and supporting them to adopt land management practices which recover nature at landscape scale.

Also to identify, develop and lead new projects, work streams and commercial opportunities to help nature’s recovery, including collaborating on and supporting the development of a new, integrated consultancy offer for the Trust.

About Norfolk Wildlife Trust

Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the oldest Wildlife Trust in the country. The purchase of 400 acres of marsh at Cley on the north Norfolk coast in 1926 to be held ‘in perpetuity as a bird breeding sanctuary’ provided a blueprint for nature conservation which has now been replicated across the UK. Our vision for Norfolk: where the future of wildlife is protected and enhanced through sympathetic management and people are connected with and inspired by Norfolk’s wildlife and wild spaces.
