Visitor Services Assistant

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is an agency of the Scottish Government, and we manage Scotland’s Forests and Land on behalf of the Scottish Ministers and the people of Scotland.

We are a major provider of outdoor recreation opportunities across Scotland including a wide-ranging portfolio of visitor destinations including six Forest Parks. The work we do makes a significant contribution to the local and national visitor economy as well as ensuring our national forests deliver a wide range of social benefits.

The Visitor Services (VS) Team is responsible for the development and delivery of a high-quality visitor experience across the forest estate. This includes; planning and managing recreation opportunities, engaging with visitors, facilitating events, facilitating education and learning, working with partners & tenants, dealing with enquiries, and engaging with communities.

Our region is diverse and comprises Tweed Valley & Galloway Forest Parks, Galloway Dark Sky Park, all the 7Stanes visitor destinations, the Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere, and a land reclamation programme in the East Ayrshire coal area. It is an extremely busy and dynamic Region to live and work in.
