Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the county’s largest environmental charity, committed to the protection and enhancement of Norfolk’s wildlife and wild places.

The Wildlife Trusts are working to facilitate nature’s recovery across the nature reserves we care for and within the communities we work alongside, and we know that if nature is to be restored at scale, we need many more people on nature’s side.

We are offering the opportunity to join our Nature Conservation team working from multiple bases across the west of the County. This is a real chance to start a career in nature conservation working on some of the County’s premier wildlife sites.

We are seeking Stockpersons to deliver conservation grazing management on our nature reserves, working with ponies, cattle, sheep and goats.

We offer the following benefits:

  • A works vehicle for you to use to travel to and between sites
  • Work on some of Norfolk’s most iconic and beautiful nature reserves
  • Competitive annual leave entitlement
  • 8 % employer contribution to Aviva pension (2% employee minimum)
  • Group income protection and death in service benefits (for pension members)
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption policies
  • Learning days
  • All staff are eligible for free admission to our nature reserves and visitor centres.

The posts require an understanding of the aims of conversation grazing, a flexible and pragmatic approach to the varied demands of the role and good communication skills. Experience of livestock management and husbandry would be advantageous.
