Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom Kent County Council Full time
Advert

The Environment Act 2021 has resulted in significant change to how biodiversity is dealt with at the local government level and no more so than through the introduction of Local Nature Recovery Strategies.

The Making Space for Nature in Kent and Medway project will develop this important strategic document for the county.

The Strategy will agree and map our most valuable areas for nature, priorities for its recovery, and opportunities for wider environmental benefits.

It will be collaborative and locally led, with a large emphasis on stakeholder engagement.


As responsible authority, Kent County Council is looking to assemble a dynamic team to deliver this landmark piece of work.


The Making Space for Nature Officer will provide support across the work of the whole project team, from communications to events to data management.

This post is ideally suited to a graduate or someone similarly wishing to be involved in a significant piece of work for nature recovery in Kent, with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and develop skills.

We are looking for an individual with a passion for wildlife, and the energy and drive to make a valuable contribution to the development of the county's nature recovery strategy.


For the Making Space for Nature in Kent and Medway project team, we are also currently advertising for a Landowner Officer, a Local Government Officer and a Coastal and Marine Officer.
