Job summary

Forestry England is part of the Forestry Commission. We look after more land and more trees than any other organisation in the country, shaping landscapes for people, wildlife and timber. It's a job that never stops growing. We are the biggest provider of outdoor recreation in the UK. We manage landscapes for wildlife to
thrive, people to enjoy and as a source of sustainable wood.

Paid parking is in place across a number of our forest sites, with income generated reinvested into maintaining and enhancing visitor facilities such as visitor centres, play areas, and cycling trails. Parking is a key service for our visitors, and this role will support the National Parking Manager in delivering effective national operations.
