Rewilding Britain wants to see rewilding flourishing across 30% of Britain, reconnecting us with the natural world, sustaining communities and tackling the interconnected nature and climate emergencies.
Since Rewilding Britain was formed in 2015 rewilding has moved from being a niche idea to playing a significant role in some of the biggest global challenges we face. Rewilding Britain is at the forefront of this change, acting as a catalyst for debate and action, and demonstrating the power of working with nature to build a sustainable world where people thrive.
We influence policy, inspire public action and catalyse joined-up practical and financial support to help establish rewilding across Britain’s land and seas. Through a rapidly growing Rewilding Network we’re bringing together a community of rewilders — from land managers and farmers, to charities, community groups and national parks — to inspire and support each other to create a wilder, more prosperous Britain. It’s not too late — but we must act now.
We’re offering a new and unique chance to join the Rewilding Britain team. Imagine a Britain where the largest, most influential and strategically important land areas lead the way in massively upscaling rewilding to tackle the growing climate and biodiversity crises. This is as much about enabling community-led and multi-stakeholder partnerships as persuading individual private, public and conservation NGO landowners. We already engage with a number of key land areas under the various ownership of organisations, public bodies and charities. We’re now at the stage where we need to have a more targeted approach and provide an increased level of support to enable a major upscaling of rewilding in these areas.
Could you see yourself joining a passionate and innovative team of people working to make Britain a wilder place? We're seeking an experienced, self-motivated Rewilding Landscapes Manager to lead our work to upscale rewilding across Britain. The successful candidate will be an innovative, driven and forward-thinking individual with a proven track record of influencing and advising landowners, land managers and wider stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity to join our fast growing charity and directly contribute to the growth of the rewilding movement.
Job purpose:
To develop and deliver a strategic approach to increasing the land area committed to large-scale rewilding initiatives which deliver nature’s recovery alongside thriving local communities. The focus will be on engaging, inspiring and empowering others to adopt and apply rewilding principles, models and approaches.
Main responsibilities:
In collaboration with senior staff and the Rewilding Manager you will be responsible for leading and project managing the development and delivery of a plan to expand landscape scale rewilding across Britain, including:
-
Providing support and advice to targeted existing larger scale rewilding initiatives.
-
Engaging with a wide range of stakeholders — including landowners and managers - in key potential rewilding landscapes and influencing them to integrate rewilding into their management plans.
-
Researching the potential for rewilding — including its opportunities, cost and benefits and financial viability - in key areas and presenting this in a compelling way.
-
Inspiring, influencing and supporting new initiatives and partnerships focused on upscaling rewilding across larger landscapes and a diverse range of ownership and management types — community-led and multi-stakeholder partnerships, private, public, corporate and NGO landowners, commoners, crofters etc.
-
Working with the Rewilding Manager to ensure that our annual Challenge Fund award acts to catalyse and enable the development of large-scale 'exemplar' rewilding initiatives.
-
Liaising with the Rewilding Manager to encourage new initiatives to join and engage in the Rewilding Network.
-
Representing Rewilding Britain to external stakeholders on various events, platforms and network groups.
-
Delivering effective systems and processes for tracking, monitoring and reporting on progress.
-
Working closely with the Rewilding Director and Rewilding Manager to ensure we best target resources.
Skills, experience and behaviours:
Ideally you will have the following skills and experience. However, this is an exciting new role so there is some scope for refinement of responsibilities, depending on the chosen candidate. If you don’t meet all requirements but believe you could thrive in this role, please consider applying or get in touch to discuss your suitability.
Experience
-
At least eight years’ professional experience in a relevant field, e.g. conservation and/or land management/agency.
-
Demonstrable experience in influencing change, network building and managing strategic partnerships and relations at a senior level.
-
Experience of community and multi-stakeholder led co-design and governance models is highly desirable.
Skills
-
Exceptional project management skills, with the ability to work effectively to deadlines and achieve demonstrable results in a rapidly changing context.
-
Powerful communication and presentation skills, including the ability to engage senior internal and external stakeholders. Media skills are highly desirable.
-
Excellent strategic and systems thinking skills with a proven ability to spot opportunities and solve problems.
Personal Qualities
-
A self-starter with initiative and motivation who works to make things happen
-
Ability to produce high-quality work at pace, thriving in a dynamic organisation.

About our Oxfam Shops
Open for business since 1948, Oxfam shops are at the heart of the charity and their community, raising vital funds and increasing public awareness of what we do. They are always guided by our values of empowerment, accountability and inclusiveness and focussed on making as much money as possible.
The Role of our Shop Managers
Commercially aware and constantly looking for new business opportunities, shop managers motivate their teams and create a safe and energised work environment. They have high standards, a strong drive to achieve results and are accountable for their business.
