    Description

    Make an Impact Across England

    Are you ready to use your expertise to make a real difference? Join the RSPB and help shape the future of our incredible estate. From negotiating land acquisitions to advising on biodiversity net gain, from listed buildings to innovative land management, this is a role where your skills truly matter.

    At RSPB, we don't just offer a job - we offer flexibility, purpose, and growth. We invest in you with CPD support and annual membership fees for one professional body included. You can enjoy a healthy work-life balance with options like flexitime, TOIL, and parental leave. After five years, take a four-week sabbatical to recharge, learn, or explore. We're proud winners of the Great British Workplace Wellbeing Award for 'Best Mental Wellbeing Initiative' - because your wellbeing is as important as the work you do.

    The successful applicant will join an England wide team of 11 Rural Surveyors. You will support the RSPB estate across the Country, dealing with interesting and challenging casework. You will play a vital role in supporting the wider team, stepping in to backfill colleagues when needed to ensure seamless delivery across our estate. The location of the role is flexible within England and does not require any specific travel arrangements.

    What You'll Do

    • Shape the Landscape: Manage land and property across England, from rent reviews to wayleaves, sporting rights, and agri-environment agreements.
    • Drive Conservation: Lead acquisitions for new reserves and expand existing ones, handling valuations and negotiations that protect nature for generations.
    • Strategic Decisions: Deliver property disposals and acquisitions that align with our mission and financial goals.
    • Risk & Compliance: Safeguard RSPB's reputation and finances through robust systems and audits.
    • Collaborate & Innovate: Work with a passionate team of surveyors, building surveyors, and area managers to spot opportunities and maximize returns.

    What We're Looking For

    • Chartered RICS (Rural) or equivalent.
    • Strong post-qualification experience in estate management and rural property transactions.
    • Knowledge of agricultural subsidy schemes and compliance.
    • Excellent communication, negotiation, and decision-making skills.
    • Ability to travel widely and occasionally stay overnight.

    Closing date: 23:59, Sunday 15th February 2026

People of colour and disabled people are currently underrepresented across the environment, climate, sustainability, and conservation sector. If you identify as a person of colour and/or disabled, we are particularly interested in receiving your application.

    The RSPB is an equal opportunities employer. This role is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

    The RSPB is a licenced sponsor. This role is not eligible for UK Visa Sponsorship - the successful applicant will need to have a pre-existing Right to Work in the UK in order to be offered an employment contract.
