The existing postholder has been seconded to work on one of our new projects.


Discover Nature aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of background or ability, can benefit from increased connection with nature and take action for nature's recovery.

We achieve this through a range of activity, from nature based learning in schools to rockpool safaris on the beach, youth volunteering in local parks to improved accessibility at our nature reserves.

In return for your hard work and dedication you'll enjoy a wide range of benefits including:

  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Agile working arrangements including home working
  • Flexitime system
  • Contributory pension scheme (conditions apply)
  • Death in Service cover
  • Access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Training and development opportunities
The post is offered as a fixed term contract for one year. There is potential for this period to be extended should we secure further funding.

Interviews are being held on Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 September 2023.

DWT is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment.
