Do you want to help two iconic chalk National Landscapes and a National Trail adapt in the face of climate change? We are looking for an experienced Project Support Officer to work alongside the Project Development Manager and help shape the Nature Ridge Landscape Connections (NLRC) Project. This grant programme aims to put landscapes into recovery supporting habitats and species alongside rich cultural heritage in better connected, working landscapes and to enable people to connect with nature and the environment.

You’ll play a key role in preparing the Development application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). Working with partners and a wide range of stakeholders, you’ll provide high-quality administrative and financial support, as well as contributing to research, information analysis, mapping and early project development. This formative phase will identify opportunities, commission or undertake further research, and build potential project ideas and initiatives aligned with NLHF priorities.

You will bring admin and financial expertise, clear communication, and use your previous experience of supporting projects within conservation, landscape or land management fields; this includes engagement with farmers, land managers and conservation bodies. If this sounds like you, then we look forward to your application.
