Farming in Protected Landscapes Officer

Want to help farmers in an area of outstanding natural beauty? This is an exciting opportunity
to work within the Wye Valley National Landscape Team to help deliver the hugely successful
Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme and exciting new Fermio Bro scheme throughout
the National Landscape. These programmes provide support for farmers and land managers in
England and Wales to conserve and enhance the outstanding landscape and help prepare for the
transition away from direct farm payments.

The post is full time (37 hours per week) until 31st March 2027. You’ll be based within the
small, friendly and dynamic Wye Valley National Landscape Team, and employed through
Herefordshire Council. The National Landscape Office is in Monmouth, but a lot of the work will
be meeting potential applicants and grantees on site in the beautiful Wye Valley landscape in
South Herefordshire, eastern Monmouthshire and the western edge of the Forest of Dean,
Gloucestershire. You will be a primary point of contact between the National Landscape Team and
the farming and land management community.
