You will oversee the day-to-day farming and conservation operations at Eriboll Farm as our Conservation Farm Manager, honouring our sustainable, low-input and biodiversity-enhancing farming ethos.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering large-scale and impactful conservation grazing and habitat enhancement across Eriboll Farm. As we are still early in our habitat restoration journey, this role offers the rare chance to contribute from project inception. Eriboll sits within an extraordinary landscape renowned for its unique habitats and wildlife.

The estate is also demonstrating strong native woodland regeneration on the hill ground, and we have removed all sheep from the hill within the past 12 months to align with our wider deer reduction. We intend to use No

Fence technology to deliver ecological land management using cattle, ensuring grazing occurs in the right places at the right times.

We aim for Eriboll farm to demonstrate innovative techniques in habitat restoration, sustainable agriculture and upland management, and we intend to invest generously in enabling this for many years to come.

Key elements of the role include managing the grazing plan, implementing the ecological objectives of the management plan for the benefit of priority species (such as wading birds and pollinators), maintaining high standards of livestock health and welfare, and ensuring the farm is kept in excellent condition both structurally, practically and visually.

We are looking for an organised, open-minded, committed and passionate individual to lead our conservation and biodiversity enhancements at Eriboll Farm. This varied and rewarding role offers a genuine opportunity to make a meaningful difference for nature, using farming as the main driver.

To thrive in this position, you will be a capable livestock manager who is comfortable working across a wide variety of tasks. You will combine strong nature conservation understanding with practical farming skills to deliver the best outcomes for priority habitats and species, while championing sustainable farming that produces positive by-products such as beef, lamb, wool and guest experience opportunities.
