Job Summary
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.
Responsibilities
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 contribute to research, information analysis, mapping and early project development. The formative phase will identify opportunities, commission or undertake further research, and build potential project ideas and initiatives aligned with NLHF priorities.
Qualifications
We are seeking an organised, proactive and confident collaborator who can work to tight deadlines with minimal supervision. 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.
Benefits
Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a ‘One Council’ ethos. Our hybrid working model means office staff are on site for at least half their hours, community-based staff carry out at least half their admin time in a workplace, and customer‑facing roles work entirely from their service location. We are committed to creating a workplace where positive relationships thrive, and everyone feels engaged, supported and able to do their best. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment. Everyone is expected to promote a culture of inclusion, dignity, trust and respect, guided by our vision and Our Identity.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
We are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and to the principles of inclusion and diversity in both employment and the delivery of services.
