The Rural Estates unit are responsible for the County Council’s 10,000+ acres of rural property assets spread across Hertfordshire. These assets include farms, agricultural land, village greens, telecoms, commercial and residential properties.

Your work will be both interesting and challenging with no two days the same.

You will have excellent interpersonal skills with the confidence to communicate effectively and build positive relationships with colleagues, tenants, contractors and other internal and external professionals

The team’s office base is Hertford; however, we actively encourage flexibility and remote working.

You will be educated to degree standard ideally in a rural property related discipline and be a member of a professional organisation e.g. the RICS Rural Practice Division.

You will hold a valid licence to drive in the UK and have your own car. You will be required to travel across Hertfordshire to visit the Estate.

In return we can offer you generous annual leave entitlement, flexible working arrangements, excellent pension and salary whilst working for an organisation that values its employees and invests in training and career development opportunities.

As part of the application you will be required to complete a full supporting statement providing examples to demonstrate your experience and suitability in the areas listed at the bottom of the job outline. If you do not complete a full supporting statement your application will be rejected.
