The successful candidate will be expected to live in the West Midlands Area and their parent office will be Worcester. There will be flexibility for some optional blended working between the FC office/s and home (see further details below). Our area team operates from 5 offices distributed across the area. Applicants will be asked to specify whether they would prefer a permanent position or Secondment / TRRA – this should be made clear in their personal statement but will also be asked in interview if successful.
About the job
Never has there been a more important time for trees and forests to help tackle the climate emergency and provide a much-needed sanctuary for people and wildlife. Our Prime Minister and our government are committed to creating 30,000 hectares of woodland a year across the UK, of which 7,500 ha per year are anticipated to be in England, by the end of this Parliament. This acceleration in current planting rates in England will contribute to meeting the net-zero by 2050 ambitions, and to government’s wider environmental targets. This was supported by the announcement in the 2021 budget of £640m for a new Nature for Climate Fund ‘to support natural habitats like woodland and peat’ and the publication of the England Tree Action Plan.
