ABOUT YOU [BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT YOU!]

Do you want to improve the environment, deliver positive impact, and embrace a sense of adventure? Do you want to work incredibly hard for people and wildlife, and be able to look back in the years to come knowing that what you did helped in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss? We are looking for someone (and potentially their family) to make a long-term commitment to an estate, making it their home and becoming part of wonderful local community.

Specifically, we’re looking for:

  • Passionate Explorer: Fuelled by a passion for adventure, environmental conservation, and making tangible impact.
  • Environmental Expertise: Profound knowledge in environmental science, conservation, or related fields, acquired through education or hands-on experience.
  • Hands-on Experience: Demonstrated experience in land management, conservation, or related domains.
  • Leadership: Strong leadership skills coupled with a steadfast dedication to environmental sustainability initiatives.
  • Exemplary Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, capable of representing the Estate and Oxygen Conservation with professionalism and positivity.
  • Innovative Problem Solver: Ability to think innovatively and creatively to implement sustainable practices and resolve challenges.
  • Collaborative Relationship Builder: Ability to build collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders, including landowners, farmers, partners, neighbours, contractors, and regulators.
  • Exacting Standards: Sharp eye for detail and a deep commitment to delivering exceptional service.
  • Commitment to Growth: A dedication to continuous personal development and fostering growth within the wider team.
  • Kindness and Approachability: And of course, you have to be really nice! Sharing snacks on long journeys or a packed lunch whilst out in the rain is mandatory!

We believe in recruiting exceptional people and creating the role that allows them to do incredible things. We are committed to having a genuinely diverse team drawn from across the country, with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. You might have skills in some but not all of the areas above. Whatever your skillset, we’d love to hear from you if you think you can make a real difference with Oxygen Conservation and the communities where we’re fortunate to work.

ABOUT THE ROLES

Do you long for a unique and exhilarating career path where you can make a tangible and positive impact on the environment? As an Estate Manager with Oxygen Conservation, you will play a pivotal role in reshaping traditional land management into a strategic opportunity for sustainable practices and environmental conservation.

Building on the successes of two of our iconic estates – Invergeldie and Mornacott – we want to show the world how modern conservation can be delivered. With opportunities in Norfolk (Manor Farm near Shropham), Cornwall, and various locations in the Scottish Highlands, we’re searching for incredible people to lead the transformation of an Estate and take the reins in rewriting the narrative of land management.

Every Oxygen Conservation Estate will undergo significant natural capital creation and improvement. This may include peatland restoration works and native broadleaf woodland planting (and natural regeneration) that will create new and improved habitats, remove carbon from the atmosphere, and help in the global fight against climate change and the biodiversity crisis.

You will provide the key interface between the central Oxygen Conservation team, our delivery partners, key local suppliers, tenants, and wider local community. For example, you will support the development of high-quality, unique ecotourism offerings, you may oversee the (re)development of homes and jobs for the local community, or you might support our goal for wind or solar on our estates.

The key requirements and responsibilities of the role are:

  • Purpose-Driven Leadership
  • Conservation
  • Community Engagement
  • Project Management
  • Ecotourism Development
  • Global Environmental Impact

We were proud to be named ‘Start Up of the Year’ at the 2022 Business Leader South West Awards and awarded the ‘Team of the Year’ at the 2023 Edie Awards.
