Crynodeb
We’re looking for a skilled and forward-thinking estates professional to lead the management of a diverse and high-profile land portfolio across the New Forest and East Dorset/South Wiltshire. This is a rare opportunity to work in one of the UK’s most treasured landscapes—where cultural heritage, biodiversity, and public benefit go hand in hand.
The Land Agents play a pivotal role providing an estate management service to the Forest Management Director, district staff, national office and other teams with professional advice and support; as well as proactively leading on the management of a wide range of residential, agricultural and commercial properties on both Forestry England freehold and leasehold land, particularly within the New Forest.
Please see the job description and Recruitment Pack below for more information and details about what we need from you.
Where you’ll work…
We are Forestry England. We are the country’s largest land manager, caring for the nation’s forests for people, nature and the economy. The foundation of our organisation is our world-class sustainable management of the nation’s forests.
Our South England Forest District team is made up of around 170 people with a diverse range of roles - from foresters and wildlife rangers to civil engineers, and ecologists to marketing professionals. We all contribute towards the management of 46,000 hectares of public forest estate that stretch from Sussex to Dorset, and from Berkshire to the Isle of Wight. Nearly all of our forests are within either a National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Much of this forest is of high national importance for nature conservation and wildlife, and of international importance for biodiversity. South England Forest District is therefore responsible for land that includes Special Areas of Conservation (for habitats), Special Protection Areas (for birds) and Ramsar sites (for wetlands). We also provide public access and recreation in our forests, with nearly 50 million visits every year to South England Forest District.
If the post you are applying for is PB5 or above, you will be asked to join the District duty roster, after a suitable period of time.
Key responsibilities & accountabilities
- manage the non-forest estate in the district including staff and budget.
- negotiate and renew all lettings, leases, licenses and agreements.
- maintain the district’s-built estate including operational facilities and housing and related services (including private water supply and waste disposal systems) to agreed budgets.
- negotiate buying, selling and disposing of surplus land, woodland and buildings achieving the best possible price.
- identify and pursue development and income-raising opportunities in the nation’s forests in line with government policy.
- manage legal issues in the district (including instructing and liaising with solicitors) covering litigation, compensation claims made against or by Forestry England, and property transactions.
- valuation work for internal purposes.
- provide legal advice to operational staff on legal matters for Forestry England properties.
- support the Forestry England Energy Strategy and aspirations around a low carbon business model.
And any other tasks, reasonably requested by your line manager.
