We are looking for an experienced and motivated conservation professional to lead the management of the 400-acre nature reserve at WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre.
This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for delivering high-quality habitat management, species monitoring, and infrastructure maintenance, while also leading a skilled team of wardens and volunteers. You will play a key role in shaping and delivering the reserve’s management plan, transitioning into the Sustainable Farming Scheme, and driving forward conservation projects that deliver real impact for wetlands and wildlife.
Working within a matrix management structure, you will collaborate across WWT teams and with external partners to ensure the reserve contributes to wider organisational goals. You will also play an important role in engaging visitors and representing WWT within the local conservation community.
This is an exciting opportunity to manage a high-profile reserve, influence how wetlands are managed in a changing environmental landscape, and contribute directly to WWT’s mission to restore wetlands and unlock their power.
In return, you’ll gain the opportunity to lead a dynamic site, work with passionate colleagues, and make a tangible difference for nature, climate, and people.
