Being a member of the Cotswolds National Landscape team gives you the opportunity to contribute directly to the work we do looking after the Cotswolds. We work with a number of communities and organisations devoted to looking after this unique and special area of England. We want to make sure this is a positive, vibrant organisation committed to delivering our aims and objectives as efficiently and effectively as possible.
We’re looking for new Board members
Applications are now open for five seats on our Board. If you’re invested in the future of the Cotswolds National Landscape, and feel your voice could be a valuable addition to our Board membership – this opportunity could be for you!
These are undeniably challenging times, and we’re working to balance the needs of a protected landscape with needs around climate, access, farming, and nature recovery. Our Board members help us deliver our core purposes, help support our team members, and contribute to the work we do. Our Board is always evolving, and we’d like to see the diverse communities within, and around, the Cotswolds represented in its membership – this is an exciting time to get involved.
The application deadline is midday on 19 May 2025.

Diversity Statement
We’re building a culture where diversity is valued, and we can all be ourselves. We still have work to do, but are strongly committed to inclusive practices which demonstrate fairness, equality, and anti-racism in everything we do. We will not tolerate less favourable treatment of anyone, especially those with legally protected characteristics, and welcome applications from all sections of communities.
Work experience
The Cotswolds National Landscape team welcomes applications from young people for work experience across our dynamic and varied organisation. We are a small, friendly organisation – and we can offer students a positive introduction to a broad range of work experiences in the conservation and environmental sector.
In the academic year 2024-25, we are offering two four-day work experience programmes:
- Monday 23rd June to Thursday 26th June 2025
- Monday 14th July to Thursday 17th July 2025
Occasionally, we have opportunities for work experience at other times in the year – but this is variable and decided on a case-by-case basis.
Places are very limited and so we encourage young people to apply early. We will prioritise applications from schools within the Cotswolds National Landscape, and from students with a demonstrable interest in working within our sector.
If you would like to gain work experience with us, please email our Outdoor Learning Officer at helen.komor@cotswolds-nl.org.uk.
