Nationality Requirements It's essential you have the right to work in the UK before applying to work with us, as we're currently unable to offer sponsorship. You'll also need to meet the requirements of the Civil Service Nationality Rules. Disability Confident Scheme If you apply under the Disability Confident Scheme, you'll be invited for interview/assessment, so long as you meet any elements of 'Experience' or 'Technical' marked as essential and can demonstrate the relevant Behaviours set out in the Success Profile. Further Information If you have any questions about this post, please email If you have any questions about the recruitment process, or require any adjustments, please email About the team Forestry and Land Scotland is a Scottish Government agency that looks after Scotland's national forests and land (NFL). While a large proportion of our work involves timber production, we reinvest income into management of the NFL for the benefit of Scotland's economy, environment and society. This post of Environment Advisor is based in Central Region, which is an extremely diverse area stretching from the Atlantic oak woodlands on Cowal, in the West, across Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, to the recreational pinewoods of Fife, and includes lowland raised bogs and former coal sites of the southern central belt. Our Environment Advisor is a key part of the planning and environment team in the region. Working alongside regional colleagues, they are responsible for inputting to land management plans, programming future works on the National Forests and Land, and advising on environmental matters, including the survey work necessary to help with this advice and input. It's interesting and challenging work which focuses on achieving a balance between planning works, habitat restoration, and advising other teams how we can positively contribute to the climate change/biodiversity crisis and manage the forests and land for maximum environmental benefit. The Central Region balances traditional timber production with maintenance of world class visitor hotspots. In recent years, we have faced plant disease and invasive non-native species, the control of which is a large part of our work. This is mixed with opportunities to create new woodland and habitats on vacant and derelict land, and rainforest and bog restoration. The Region looks after Scheduled Monuments, has extensive areas of open ground in the south and east, and manages a number of European Designated sites. Other significant activities include new native woodland creation, peatland restoration, restoration of Plantation on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS), management of key species including red squirrel, great crested newt, pine marten, black grouse and a range of raptor species, and renewables developments. The successful candidate will be based in either the West Calder or Aberfoyle office, as the role will cover the region with travel around the region required at times. You will be provided with training opportunities and mentoring and will be working alongside experienced senior team members to help you settle into the role.

The EA will act as a link between National Environment Advisors and the Regional Planning Teams to help to prioritise and deliver national policies and objectives in a regionally relevant and pragmatic way. The EA will also represent FLS in liaison with national, regional, and local stakeholders. You'll play an integral role in driving forward improvements to environmental programming. Much of this work forms part of substantial projects supporting Scottish Government key objectives on climate change, such as peatland restoration, expanding native woodland and improving the biodiversity value of a wide range of woodland and open habitats - you'll take the lead on managing and supporting these projects, working with the national team to draw up plans to ensure benefits are delivered and recorded and helping to manage the peatland team.
