This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys delivering projects at pace with a range of stakeholders and is motivated by improving access and understanding of our special environment and heritage.

You might be currently working in a communications, marketing or engagement role - or perhaps you have something completely fresh to offer. We're looking for self‑starters with an eye for detail, and plenty of ideas and enthusiasm. You'll be keen for a challenge and ready to make a difference in England's largest National Park and World Heritage Site.

Could you champion one of the world's most treasured landscapes? We're seeking a passionate and dynamic communications and engagement professional to deliver two high‑profile Lake District projects through to January 2028:
Love Windermere and the English Lake District World Heritage Site.

You’ll relish tackling challenging issues, thrive managing multiple stakeholders and love using your creativity to make an impact.

If you're driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact and help care for our globally significant landscape, then we want to hear from you.

Our people are passionate about the landscape and proud of the role they play in looking after it for the nation. We are innovative and agile in our approach to work, ensuring we get the best from our resources.

We're a medium size organisation, which puts us in a good position to be adaptive and able to act on our decisions. Our staff know each other and can quickly form workplace relationships to make great team players and problem solvers.

You’ll work in the Communications team on two projects:
Love Windermere and the English Lake District World Heritage Site. You'll be line‑managed by our Head of Communications and Engagement and will have regular matrix management relationships with project teams.

We operate a hybrid way of working, combining working from home and days at our office base at Wayfaring House, Kendal. You'll be provided with a laptop to enable you to access our secure IT network when working remotely.
