Two roles. One mission. Real impact. The Landscape Institute is hiring. We’re looking for two people who want to put landscape at the heart of public policy — and help shape the places where people live, work and connect with nature. We’re the UK’s chartered body for landscape professionals. Our members design, plan and manage the places that make life better — from restored habitats and flood-resilient parks to new communities built around nature. We champion their work and the value of landscapes everywhere. We make the case to government. We need people to help us do more.
Policy & Public Affairs Manager
Part-time (21 hours) | Circa £45,000 pro rata (Hybrid)
This is a senior influencing role. You’ll lead our policy and public affairs work in England and Wales — building the LI’s reputation as the go-to voice on landscape, place and nature. You’ll work across Westminster, engaging civil servants, MPs and industry. You’ll bring strategic instinct, strong relationships and the ability to land complex messages with diverse audiences.
Policy & Public Affairs Officer
Full-time | Circa £30,000
This is a great role to develop your understanding of environmental policy. You’ll support our influencing work and help with our technical work — tracking legislation, drafting briefings, engaging stakeholders and helping embed a landscape-led approach in national and local planning.
If you care about the built and natural environment and want your work to make a difference, we want to hear from you.
What we’re looking for
Both roles suit people who are passionate about policy, the environment and driving positive change. We’re small, so you’ll have real responsibility from day one.
