Wilder Hadrian’s Wall - Development Manager
Location: Cumbria/Northumberland/Scotland border with an office base at
Carlisle or Gosforth in Newcastle
Salary: £34,843 based on a 35-hour week, plus pension contributions
Contract length: Fixed term for 2 years. Starting in June 2025
The Wilder Hadrian’s Wall is a joint initiative between Northumberland and Cumbria Wildlife Trusts.
This exciting new role will lead the project, engaging key stakeholders and influencers to drive nature's recovery at a landscape scale along the Hadrian's Wall corridor.
The role will also involve leading a small team of staff that will undertake the initial planning and development of those projects so that they can be taken forward to delivery in the longer term.
Purpose of the Role
The key purpose of this role is to lead the engagement of key stakeholders and influencers that can together drive nature’s recovery at a landscape-scale along the Hadrian’s Wall corridor. With input from these groups, a pipeline of agreed projects will be identified that will form the basis of a future work programme that creates a nature recovery network along that corridor. The role will also involve leading a small team of staff that will undertake the initial planning and development of those projects so that they can be taken forward to delivery in the longer term.
Special Features of the Role
The Wilder Hadrian’s Wall is a joint initiative between Northumberland and Cumbria Wildlife Trusts so this role will cover the entire Hadrian’s Wall corridor, although there will be a focus on areas with gaps in current/planned delivery. It will be important however to ensure that any projects identified link with and compliment similar work already happening, both within and adjacent to the corridor.
Main Responsibilities and Accountabilities will include:-
- Engaging stakeholders and influencers
- Develop a shared vision for a Wilder Hadrian’s Wall with a pipeline of projects
- Lead and line manage the team of programme staff, placements and volunteers.
- Develop, manage and coordinate a wide range of external communications and events
- Research and identify potential long-term funding streams
- Identify future monitoring, evaluation and reporting needs
The closing date for applications is 09:00 am on Monday 12 May 2025.
Interviews will be held at our offices in Carlisle at Gosling Sike on Friday 6 June 2025.
