We aim to engage and inspire people about woods and trees to help us meet our vision of creating, restoring and protecting woodland. We own and care for over 1,000 woodland sites across the United Kingdom and support the creation and management of woodland on others’ land. 

Departments across the Trust are placing an increasing reliance on Digital channels to achieve their objectives, and the time has come to take our digital communications and operations to a whole new level.

As part of our forward thinking digital team, you will have a deep yet broad understanding of existing and future digital platforms, methods and technologies, including their strengths and weakness. You will have the passion to communicate the possibilities and to drive these forward.

You will develop and deliver all the technical aspect of the Trust's online/digital working hand in hand with the development of editorial. You will experience planning the infrastructure to deliver new services and a track record of delivering digital media projects at a senior level.

You and your team (2 direct reports) would need to be able to agree SLA's with IT or external suppliers, ensure that the Digital Systems and plans are understood, develop technical test plans and carry out testing.

Experience of playing a pivotal role in diverse teams comprising of technical and non-technical stakeholders and being able to think strategically will be required. Excellent communication skills in both speaking and writing as well as experience with MS Project, Excel and project methodology will be necessary. In addition you will be able to demonstrate website development using an MVC framework such as ASP.NET.
