Current Roles
Visitor Engagement Coordinator – Dundreggan Rewilding Centre
Are you a creative communicator with a passion for crafting memorable visitor experiences that bring people closer to nature? At Trees for Life, we are rewilding the Scottish Highlands – restoring native woodlands, reintroducing missing species, and deepening connections between people and nature. The Dundreggan Rewilding Centre is at the heart of this mission, welcoming tens of thousands of visitors each year to explore, learn, and be inspired.
As Visitor Engagement Coordinator, you will bring the story and spirit of rewilding to life, while understanding and enhancing the experiences visitors want during their time in the Highlands. From first encounters to lasting relationships, you’ll shape every step of the visitor journey. By developing an inspiring events programme, creating engaging content, and ensuring every experience is memorable, you’ll grow audiences, generate income, and build enduring support for a wilder Scotland.
What you will do in a typical week:
- Design and help to deliver a distinctive programme of activities, events, and experiences that delight visitors and generate revenue.
- Manage the visitor journey from welcome to follow-up, ensuring every guest feels valued and inspired.
- Create compelling marketing content, from social media and website updates to advertising, brochures, and event materials.
- Collaborate with Trees for Life’s Marketing and Fundraising team to align visitor engagement with wider campaigns and inspire long-term donor support.
- Oversee booking systems, ticketing, and the welcome area, ensuring a seamless and professional service.
- Build relationships with partners and suppliers to co-create unique and profitable visitor offers.
- Collect and act on visitor feedback, continually improving the experience.
- Analyse customer data and trends to shape strategies, spot opportunities, and measure success.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The key to rewilding’s success is people. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive organisation, and recognise that some communities currently remain underrepresented in the environmental and conservation sector, including in the Scottish Highlands. We welcome applications from individuals from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities, and those from underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds. We are committed to proactively diversifying our sector, especially in leadership roles.
Just as biodiversity enhances ecosystems, diverse people enrich our sector and help us take bolder, more impactful action for nature. Rewilding is a shared journey, and together, we’re crafting a diverse, living landscape that supports communities and local livelihoods.
If you require any additional support or adjustments for the application or interview process, please don’t hesitate to contact us at jobs@treesforlife.org.uk
Gaelic (Gàidhlig)
Gaelic is the oldest surviving language in Scotland and has been spoken throughout these glens for centuries. Gaelic is deeply connected to our landscapes, nature and rewilding, and forms an integral part of Scotland’s culture and heritage.
We recognise the language’s vital role in shaping both our past and future, and actively encourage Gaelic learners and speakers to apply for all our roles.
