The Northumberland Peat Partnership (NPP) is a collaborative initiative, that brings together a wide range of stakeholders to protect, survey and restore Northumberland’s peatlands. Our mission is to reverse historic damage by returning degraded bogs into healthy, peat-forming condition that benefits both nature and people.

The role will involve work across multiple projects to take responsibility for overseeing the day-to-day delivery of the Northumberland Peat Action Plan.

Individual work programmes are agreed to enable officers to use their existing competencies while developing new skills and areas of knowledge.

NPP staff work as a team to deliver a range of grants and contracts while also contributing to the wider work of NWT and partners.
