About the Western Forest
The Western Forest is England’s newly announced national forest. The Western Forest will span Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and the West of England, focusing on five core areas over its first five years. It will support over 2.5 million people and plant at least 2,500 hectares of woodland and tree habitat. The project will also restore 1,500 hectares of existing woodland habitat.
The Western Forest will connect and join up our existing woodlands through focused delivery across the region to create and restore the woodlands for people and nature. By doing so, we will create important corridors for our wildlife, mitigate flood risk, create new accessible woodlands for communities in both our rural and urban communities and grow the green economy.
The project has been led by representatives from the Forest of Avon, Great Western Community Forest, Natural History Consortium, local authorities and West of England Combined Authority to success - winning the national forest competition to be the first new national forest in 30 years. A range of additional partners including the Wildlife Trusts, authorities, National Landscapes and others will be closely involved in developing the programme, while a much wider partnership of over 40 stakeholders has come together to support the project.
Purpose of the Role:
The Administrator at Western Forest will provide essential support in administrative tasks primarily supporting the financial, reporting and programme management elements of the programme. The Administrator will play a key role in maintaining accurate records, supporting financial processes and ensuring timely processing of documents and claims.
Benefits include: Staff pension, Employee Assistance package, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, volunteering days and staff training and social events.
Closing at 5pm on Monday 30th June 2025.
