Hunt on for ‘exceptional’ new manager of Cornwall’s Looe Island

Accommodation was provided for the manager and the role included caring for wildlife, leading a team of volunteers and welcoming visitors, the trust added.

Looe Island was given to the wildlife trust in 2004 by sisters Babs and Evelyn Atkins, who lived there and wrote two books about island life.

It was also known as St George’s Island during World War Two.

It sits one mile (1.6km) off Looe and covers just over 22 acres (8.9 hectares) , including woodland, grassland, shingle and a rocky reef teaming with wildlife.
