We have an opportunity for a passionate individual to join us at Essex Wildlife Trust as an Assistant Ranger at our Thameside Nature Discovery Park in Thurrock.

Thameside Nature Park is located atop the former Mucking Marshes Landfill in Thurrock. It is home to a variety of species, including barn owls, short-eared owls, water voles, harvest mice, skylarks, cuckoos, and the shrill carder bee. Local cattle graze the grasslands throughout the year. The park is classified as a Ramsar site, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and a Special Protection Area (SPA).

As an avian hotspot, Thameside Nature Park hosts overwintering and migratory bird species year-round, with internationally important populations of ringed plover and avocet, and nationally important populations of grey plover, dunlin, black-tailed godwit, and redshank. The grasslands are also rich in butterflies, moths, and bees.

The Assistant Ranger will work closely with the Ranger to manage and enhance the park’s woodland, scrub, and grassland through conservation efforts, supported by dedicated volunteers. Key responsibilities include:

  1. Assisting in the development and implementation of the site management plan.
  2. Conducting repair and maintenance work.
  3. Coordinating wildlife monitoring and surveys.

We are seeking a passionate, self-motivated individual with a strong interest in habitat management and wildlife conservation. The ideal candidate enjoys working with the public and is able to collaborate effectively with a small team to manage the reserve, improving both its wildlife value and visitor experience, while promoting access to nature.

The position is a permanent, part-time role working three days per week (22.5 hours per week). The starting salary is £13,384.80 per annum (FTE £22,308.00).

To apply for this opportunity, please submit an online application via our website by 9:00am on Monday 14 October 2024. Interviews will be held at Thameside Nature Park on Thursday 24 October 2024.

As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible.

Essex Wildlife Trust is committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone is welcome. As a conservation charity, we know how important diversity is, both in our natural world and amongst the people we employ. We want everyone to feel valued and empowered to contribute to our vision of “A county rich in wildlife with people connected to nature.”
