St Albans, United Kingdom Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust Full time

About the Role

The Assistant Reserves Officer is one of our team managing and developing the Trust’s nature reserves for people and wildlife.  Your work place includes internationally recognised wetlands and woodlands along with nationally important meadows, chalk grasslands and heathland across Hertfordshire and Middlesex.

You will need to have strong experience in practical habitat management, including the use of power tools and machinery, such as chainsaws, brush cutters and BCS mowers. You will have experience of working within a dynamic team and leading volunteers. You will need to have a keen interest in wildlife and preferably a knowledge of the habitats in our area.

No two days are the same as an ARO at HMWT; you will get the opportunity to utilise and develop your practical habitat management skills across our nature reserves including tree felling, coppicing, scrub clearance, hay cutting and pond/ditch management. You will also undertake the maintenance of site infrastructure; assist with the management of livestock; and perform surveying and monitoring of habitat/species, tree safety and infrastructure. These tasks will be delivered working closely with members of the nature reserves team; our volunteer wardens and our practical conservation volunteers.   

Willingness to travel throughout our work area and flexibility to work occasional irregular hours is required for this post.

Before applying please read our full recruitment pack. Please ensure you are able to commute daily to our offices in St. Albans and any of the Trust’s sites within a reasonable timeframe. If you are thinking of relocating to this area please research these options prior to submitting an application.

As an employer we are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health of all our staff.

Full details can be found on our recruitment pack.
