Bute Community Forest: Project Officer (part time)

The Bute Community Forest is 167 hectares of community-owned woodland at the north end of the Isle of Bute. The Bute Community Land Company Board (known as the Bute Community Forest Board) oversees the Community Forest on behalf of the community and aspires to become a self-sustaining organisation able to deliver its wider objectives related to management and custody of the Forest as an asset; increased community and visitor use and engagement with the Forest; environmental education and increasing environmental amenity. 

The Board is seeking a Project Officer with the right blend of Forest and Tourism management experience to help with its next phase of development. The post is funded from 1 June 2022 until 31 March 2024, although the 3 year post may be the starting point for a longer-term role with the Community Forest. The role is for 22.2 hours per week with a salary of £21,000 per annum (£35,000 per annum pro-rata).

The closing date for applications is 4th May. For more information about the role and how to apply, visit the Bute Community Forest Facebook page.
