Overview
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
