Project Manager

NON CYC VACANCY

The White Rose Forest (WRF) is the community forest for North and West Yorkshire and one of 13 community forest partnerships in England. For more information about the White Rose Forest visit: www.whiteroseforest.org.

Our aim is by 2050 to significantly increase tree cover in North and West Yorkshire and to bring existing woodlands into management and to do so by bringing people, businesses and communities into the process of planning, planting, and looking after the trees and new woodlands.

To help shape these aims with our many stakeholders and partners, we will produce a WRF Plan 2025-2050.

We are therefore looking to recruit a capable and motivated individual with the necessary skills and experience to project manage the development of this Plan. The development of this Plan is a key element to shaping the future of the White Rose Forest. The post is available on a fixed term basis until March 2025.

The White Rose Forest Project Manager will be employed through the Community Forest Trust on behalf of the White Rose Forest and will work as part of the WRF Core Team.

To be successful within the role, you will require strong previous experience in a strategic planning role. You will require high level analytical skills with the ability to effectively report to and communicate with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, and to present complicated information clearly and concisely to a wide audience. You will also be required to manage, analyse and report on stakeholder consultations as part of the report development process.

A Masters-level degree or other relevant qualification is also desirable for this role.

This is a fixed term contract until 31 March 2025 for 36 hours per week, Monday - Friday.

In this role you will work from home without an office base, as do all members of the central WRF team. However, there is the requirement to attend monthly meetings in locations spread across North and West Yorkshire. You will therefore require the ability to travel independently to such locations.

Please contact hr@cf-trust.org for the full job specification before applying.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applicants from all sections of the community.

Please send your full CV and a covering letter to hr@cf-trust.org
