MALVERN HILLS

(full-time post, 37 hours per week)

The Malvern Hills Trust is the new working name of the Malvern Hills Conservators, a body that was first established by Act of Parliament in 1884 to protect and manage the Malvern Hills and the adjacent commons.

We are a registered charity (charity no 515804) with a governing Board and a team of Staff who together work to ensure the Hills are open for the public, whilst protecting this iconic landscape.

We manage approximately 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) of open grassland, woodland and scrub across the Hills and Commons and we strive to manage this land for the benefit of wildlife, the commoners, the local community and the hundreds of thousands of people who visit the Hills each year.

Our key objectives (as mentioned in our Acts) are to:

• Preserve the natural aspect
• Protect and manage trees, shrubs, turf and other vegetation
• Prevent unlawful digging and quarrying
• Keep the Hills open, unenclosed and unbuilt on as open spaces for the recreation and enjoyment of the public
• Conserve and enhance biodiversity, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Scheduled Ancient Monuments on its land.

Occasionally these objectives conflict, and where that happens we aim to find the most appropriate balance between them.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our dedicated team of outdoor staff. This full-time post involves a

wide range of practical land management and conservation tasks across the Malvern Hills and Commons.
