Nature Development Officers; x3

Role Overview

You will be from an environmental, rural land use or natural resources management background within the private, public or charitable sectors.

You will have an organised approach, grounded by strong partnership and project experience. We would expect an understanding of countryside management, nature conservation and farming, and that you are comfortable with managing information and simple GIS.

You will be a great communicator, with a personable style, who can work with many different people across the wonderful variety of geography, business development and activities of the Wildlife Trust and its partner organisations.

You enjoy meeting people and being part of a team. This is a new role that will evolve following your appointment so you should be excited by the flexibility and opportunities to take an innovative approach.

We will welcome applications for part-time working or to be on secondment from a permanent post. We would consider proposals for secondment for shorter periods than the full 18 months of the project.

The salary we offer successful candidates will depend on your experience. Secondees would remain employed by their existing employer, salary and terms and conditions.
