This post will help NatureScot deliver its policies and priorities (including Scotland’s response to the climate emergency and biodiversity loss) in Argyll.

This will frequently involve the engagement and development of partnerships with others while managing a small team of staff.
The key tasks of this post will require a high level of partnership working and capacity building: development control casework, including significant renewable energy, aquaculture and forestry casework; protected areas casework (including Site Condition Monitoring, consents, management agreements/delivering favourable conditions, etc); leading on deer management initiatives and AECS case officer work; invasive non-native species projects, including rhododendron; and, exploring where NatureScot can best contribute to the Green Recovery, including through climate change and biodiversity initiatives.

Nature is vital to all of us, so it is vital that we are an organisation for all of Scotland. The more diverse NatureScot is, the better we will be in connecting everyone with nature.
