We’re Hiring - Project Officer

We’re hiring: Two Moors Way Project Officer

Dartmoor Futures is looking for a practical, organised and collaborative Project Officer to help deliver an exciting programme of improvements to the Dartmoor section of the Two Moors Way.

The Two Moors Way is a long-distance walking route linking the south and north coasts of Devon through Dartmoor and Exmoor. This project will deliver targeted improvements to the Dartmoor section of the route, including infrastructure, signage, route quality and opportunities for volunteers to contribute to its future care.

Working in partnership with Dartmoor National Park Authority, the postholder will help coordinate practical works, engage with landowners and partners, support project monitoring and communications, and contribute to a wider vision for what a high-quality 21st Century Trail could look like on Dartmoor.

The project will also explore the idea of regenerative recreation: how people enjoying Dartmoor can contribute positively to its landscape, communities, businesses and long-term future.

We’re looking for someone who can hold both the practical and the collaborative:

Someone who has experience in countryside, access, recreation, trails or environmental project delivery.

Someone who can manage practical works, support project planning, keep clear records and work safely across a complex landscape.

Someone who can build trust with partners, landowners, volunteers and local stakeholders, and help translate learning from the project into future opportunities for Dartmoor.

The role is a fixed-term post, employed by Dartmoor Futures and seconded to Dartmoor National Park Authority for day-to-day delivery.

Salary: £34,434 - £39,152 (DNPA Grade 5) 
Location: Dartmoor, with hybrid working by agreement
Anticipated start date: October 2026
Closing date: Monday 7 September 2026

Dartmoor Futures works with communities and partners to shape the long-term health and resilience of Dartmoor. Through this project, we want to explore how practical improvements to one of Dartmoor’s most important walking routes can support better access, stronger partnerships and wider learning about the future of recreation, care and investment in the landscape.
