    This also includes assessing performance and training requirements and taking responsibility for Health and Safety.

    • Support staff in the assessment of applications from crofters under the Crofting Agricultural Grant Scheme, and the completion of reports in relation to croft regulatory matters on behalf of the Crofting Commission.
    • Manage and assess applications and claims from land managers under our Agri-Environment Climate Scheme (AECS)
