Combe Grove is an innovative, dynamic, and friendly business, wrapped within a charitable trust, highly focused on delivering its charitable objectives. Due to the expansion of the business, there is an exciting opportunity for an Estate Manager to join the team.

Combe Grove is seeking a dynamic person who has a passion for the natural world and the built environment, a keen interest in health and wellbeing and is determined to help young people make the most of life’s opportunities. The role requires land governorship and development of the biodiversity of the estate whilst becoming self-sufficient in food production and maintaining the natural habitat. The estate includes listed and modern buildings and plans to develop and improve these require a person who can manage these works relying wherever possible on traditional craftsmanship.

The Estate of course supports the rest of the Combe Grove organisation and the successful candidate will work closely with both the General Manager and all of the Management Team: a proactive approach and ‘can-do’ attitude are critical. The role will be responsible for all legal compliance required on the estate, such as Health and Safety.
