Nature Scot is Scotland’s nature agency. Landscape is a key element of ourstatutory remit which helps to link nature, people and place. The importance of nature positive landscapes in the creation of great places to live, work and visit is well recognised for its contribution to Scotland’s health and economic prosperity. We also know that significant landscape change will be needed to halt biodiversity loss and tackle the climate emergency, and this will require the application of new landscape skills and perspectives.

While Scotland is rightly renowned for its scenery, Nature Scot recognises the value of all landscapes.

This is in keeping with the European Landscape Convention, and People Place and Landscape, our joint statement with Historic Environment Scotland. National Planning Framework 4 recognises the importance of Scotland’s landscapes through the Regional Spatial Priorities, and by the general emphasis on place, place-making and the design-led approach which runs through it.

This post will provide an exciting opportunity to input to plans, policies, and guidance that will help Scotland’s landscapes change for the better. This is particularly important now given the need to understand how landscape skills can support nature recovery, nature-based solutions and a natural capital approach in practice.

This is a permanent, full-time role with Nature Scot. We encourage applications from those seeking part-time employment or flexible working arrangements.
