It’s an exciting time to join SF.  We are a relatively new executive agency of Scottish Government, which supports the delivery of the Scottish Government’s updated framework for forestry in Scotland, including woodland expansion and the regulation of felling.  We want you to become part of our new organisation and help shape the future of forestry in Scotland.

We are a flexible employer and encourage applicants who wish to work full time, part time or other flexible working patterns to apply.
