Job Introduction

Do you want to manage the South-East's newest 250-mile long National Trail? If so, there is now a unique opportunity to be the National Trail Officer for the South-East section of the England Coast Path.

The role, which covers the Coast Path from Bexley to Brighton, is based in the Rights of Way & Countryside Team at East Sussex County Council.

As the National Trail Officer, you'll be managing a new 250-mile long-distance walking route, running along the coast of the South-East.

You will be leading on managing public access and coordinating maintenance along the Trail. Working with stakeholders, your role will also involve the funding, promotion and enhancement of the Coast Path. This will require independent travel around the South-East to remote locations in all weathers. You will be dealing with a wide range of people, often resolving competing interests.

Further support for the role is also provided nationally by a wider 'family' of National Trail Officers.

As this role works across the South-East, we would be open to discussing flexibility in working location and also considering the role as a job share.

- _Have experience of working in countryside access or related areas._
- _Have the ability to innovate and develop a new asset and area of work._
- _Can develop and maintain excellent working relationships with partner organisations and stakeholders._
- _Are able to administer a complex, often competing workload. _
- _Can write formal reports to a high standard._

Interviews will take place in-person at County Hall, Lewes, East Sussex on 19th April 2023.

If you are unavailable on either of these dates, or wish to have the interview over Microsoft Teams, let us know and we may be able to accommodate this.

We offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment. More information can be found on our benefits page.
