About the Role
This post will enable us to develop our models for local participation across the UK, starting with two of Plantlife’s nature reserves: Ranscombe Farm in Kent and Three Hagges Woodmeadow near York. The role provides an opportunity to explore new ways of working and to apply learning across other reserves and local action sites. At Ranscombe Farm and Three Hagges Woodmeadow, we have longstanding relationships with the local community and aim to build upon these, enabling more and a wider range of people to access, benefit from, and contribute to their conservation.

This is a fixed-term 3-year contract, with the first 15 months focusing on delivering the Ranscombe Connect project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage, using money raised by National Lottery players.

Experience
Proven skills and confidence in building relationships with existing and potential stakeholders quickly and effectively. Excellent understanding of community work and the motivations and needs of volunteers. Skilled and experienced facilitator with the flexibility and diplomacy to co-design and deliver participation initiatives.

About you
Creative and enthusiastic individual who enjoys making things happen, from idea generation through to delivery and evaluation. Able to think strategically about applying learning from one context to other Plantlife locations. Prepared to travel regularly, including overnight stays as required by the role.

Qualifications
Not explicitly stated, but relevant experience and skills in community engagement and facilitation are essential.
