Join Natural Resources Wales as its Executive Director, National Operations, and play a leading role in shaping the future of Wales' largest Welsh Government-sponsored body.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) plays a vital role in the sustainable management of Wales' natural resources, helping to ensure that people and nature can thrive now and for future generations.
NRW is strengthening how it delivers national services and organisational support functions, ensuring the systems, services and capabilities that underpin NRW are resilient, efficient and equipped to meet current and future challenges.
This is an opportunity to join a refreshed Executive Team and help shape the next chapter of NRW, ensuring the organisation is well positioned to respond to increasing environmental demands, changing public expectations and the evolving needs of Wales.
As Executive Director, National Operations, you will lead nationally delivered services that are critical to the effectiveness, resilience and reputation of NRW. Your leadership will directly influence how the organisation supports operational delivery, responds to major incidents, delivers high quality services and continuously improves performance across Wales.
This is an opportunity to shape the future of Natural Resources Wales and make a lasting contribution to the organisation's capability, resilience and impact across Wales.
As an organisation NRW supports flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
