If you share our passion for making positive environmental and social change, we’d like to hear from you.
We have been creating and improving greenspaces, planting and managing woodlands, greening active travel routes and enhancing habitats for nearly 40 years. We are passionate about the positive environmental and social change we can deliver across Scotland and are always on the lookout for candidates who have a similar passion to help us create this change.
As an employer, we believe in balancing life and work; we work flexibly; we invest in our people by offering training and support; and above all, we value our staff.
Positions advertised are offered on a permanent, full-time basis (although part-time and flexible working arrangements will be considered) and involve hybrid working from home and our offices.
Vacancies – when available – are posted below. We will also advertise them on our social media accounts, so please follow us for updates on recruitment opportunities.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your financial expertise to help us deliver tangible change for Scotland’s people, nature and environment.
