Professional Adventurer

JOIN THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!

Full time | From Invergeldie (Perthshire), to Manor Farm (Norfolk), to Cornwall, and the Highlands.

As our site lead, you will play a pivotal role in reshaping traditional land management into a strategic opportunity for sustainable practices and environmental conservation.  

We want to show the world how modern conservation can be delivered. With opportunities across the UK, we’re searching for individuals to spearhead the transformation of these incredible landscapes and take the reins in rewriting the narrative of land management. 

Each site will undergo significant natural capital creation and improvement that is most appropriate to that area. This may include peatland restoration works and native broadleaf woodland creation. We also explore the opportunity for renewable energy projects, both wind and solar, to help in the global fight against climate change.  

You will be the key interface between the central Oxygen Conservation team and key local suppliers, tenants, and wider local community. This role may see you supporting the development of unique ecotourism offerings and/or the (re)development of homes for the local community. No day will be the same, but each will be an adventure. 

THE ADVENTURER WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

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? Do you want to make a meaningful positive impact at a landscape scale? We are looking for someone (and potentially their family) to make a long-term commitment to one of our sites, making it their home and becoming part of a wonderful local community. Specifically, we’re looking for: 

• Passionate Explorer: Fuelled by a passion for adventure, environmental conservation, and making tangible impact. 
• Environmental Expertise: Knowledge in environmental science, conservation, or related fields, acquired through education or hands-on experience. 
• Exemplary Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, capable of representing Site and Oxygen Conservation with professionalism and positivity. 
• Hands-on Experience: Perhaps experience in land management, conservation, or related domains. 
• 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.
