For more information or a chat about the role, please contact Chris Soans, You'll provide support, direction and technical advice to property and estate teams on all aspects of the management of our agricultural land. This includes land farmed and managed 'in hand', as well as supporting our tenants and others responsible for managing National Trust land.

Working closely with our farming tenants, you'll build relationships and trust, to offer support and advice to enable them to develop and maintain profitable, sustainable farm businesses, whilst also helping to deliver the NT strategy across their holdings. Helping and supporting the development of new Agri-environment schemes, you'll see opportunities for high nature status farming and for the creation of bigger and better habitats and carbon capture. You'll share and champion your expertise in Agri-ecological farming helping others to transition to new innovative farming practices that move forward our ambitious strategy at pace. We'd love to hear from you if you're: experienced with explaining current farming issues and opportunities to a farming audience, and substantial practical knowledge of farming and other land management systems. able to apply practical understanding of the principles of regenerative agriculture, natural assets, soil management and farm carbon management. experienced in advising on Agri-environment scheme design and application. able to bring understanding and implementation of farm compliance, legislation, and risk management. a skilled communicator, who can build strong relationships within diverse teams, both internally and externally. a flexible thinker and problem-solver, skilled at negotiating and building productive networks, and confident in using your expertise to influence decisions. proactive and organised, with experience of managing projects and a talent for multi-tasking and getting things done, strongly focused on detail, quality, cost, and time. lead for inclusion and always think 'everyone welcome'.

Stirling, Stirlingshire
Environment Advisor Pay Band Pay Band 4/CS HEO Location Central - flexible for Aberfoyle or West Calder Contract Type: Permanent, full-time This is a full-time vacancy, based on a 37 hour week We're a flexible employer and encourage applicants who wish to work a flexible working pattern to apply - all requests will be considered. Nationality Requirements It's essential you have the right to work in the UK before applying to work with us, as we're currently unable to offer sponsorship. You'll also need to meet the requirements of the Civil Service Nationality Rules. Disability Confident Scheme If you apply under the Disability Confident Scheme, you'll be invited for interview/assessment, so long as you meet any elements of 'Experience' or 'Technical' marked as essential and can demonstrate the relevant Behaviours set out in the Success Profile. Further Information If you have any questions about this post, please email If you have any questions about the recruitment process, or require any adjustments, please email About the team Forestry and Land Scotland is a Scottish Government agency that looks after Scotland's national forests and land (NFL). While a large proportion of our work involves timber production, we reinvest income into management of the NFL for the benefit of Scotland's economy, environment and society. This post of Environment Advisor is based in Central Region, which is an extremely diverse area stretching from the Atlantic oak woodlands on Cowal, in the West, across Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, to the recreational pinewoods of Fife, and includes lowland raised bogs and former coal sites of the southern central belt. Our Environment Advisor is a key part of the planning and environment team in the region. Working alongside regional colleagues, they are responsible for inputting to land management plans, programming future works on the National Forests and Land, and advising on environmental matters, including the survey work necessary to help with this advice and input. It's interesting and challenging work which focuses on achieving a balance between planning works, habitat restoration, and advising other teams how we can positively contribute to the climate change/biodiversity crisis and manage the forests and land for maximum environmental benefit. The Central Region balances traditional timber production with maintenance of world class visitor hotspots. In recent years, we have faced plant disease and invasive non-native species, the control of which is a large part of our work. This is mixed with opportunities to create new woodland and habitats on vacant and derelict land, and rainforest and bog restoration. The Region looks after Scheduled Monuments, has extensive areas of open ground in the south and east, and manages a number of European Designated sites. Other significant activities include new native woodland creation, peatland restoration, restoration of Plantation on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS), management of key species including red squirrel, great crested newt, pine marten, black grouse and a range of raptor species, and renewables developments. The successful candidate will be based in either the West Calder or Aberfoyle office, as the role will cover the region with travel around the region required at times. You will be provided with training opportunities and mentoring and will be working alongside experienced senior team members to help you settle into the role. What you will do The Environment Advisor (EA) leads the region's environment team and ensures it integrates effectively with other teams, developing strategic environmental directions, programmes, and priorities (particularly in relation to priority habitat and species programmes and land management plans). This role should focus on the strategic approach to environmental preservation and management, and seek to ensure consistency, continuity, and compliance. The EA will act as a link between National Environment Advisors and the Regional Planning Teams to help to prioritise and deliver national policies and objectives in a regionally relevant and pragmatic way. The EA will also represent FLS in liaison with national, regional, and local stakeholders. You'll play an integral role in driving forward improvements to environmental programming. Much of this work forms part of substantial projects supporting Scottish Government key objectives on climate change, such as peatland restoration, expanding native woodland and improving the biodiversity value of a wide range of woodland and open habitats - you'll take the lead on managing and supporting these projects, working with the national team to draw up plans to ensure benefits are delivered and recorded and helping to manage the peatland team. Main Duties • Line manage and mentor the small environment team in the region. • Work with other regional and national teams to help them understand key environment and biodiversity drivers and set up sustainable work processes to encourage practical advice, communication and workflows. • Oversee the coordination of surveys and site visits to allow programmes of environment work, such as rhododendron control, native woodland restoration, habitat enhancement, to be drawn up. Work with others to seek funding from outside sources and draw up the details of the projects that would be funded this way. • Advise on, and support your team when they advise on, operational work to ensure protected habitats and species are taken account of and that operations deliver the maximum environmental benefits. • Help ensure health and safety aspects of work you manage remains a priority. • Build and develop environment projects to readiness (e.g., rainforest areas) to help seek additional funding opportunity. • Act as a key contributor to land management plans to ensure they engage fully with biodiversity gain, habitat protection and enhancement. • Mentor, develop and encourage your team to understand the work of other teams and the organisation and motivate them to contribute to this in a constructive and positive way. • As part of the regional leadership team, take responsibility for business sustainability and contribute to discussions and debate bringing environmental knowledge to this process.
