Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines, United Kingdom Teesdale Special Flora Trust Full time

Two part-time, self-employed Assistant Surveyor Posts

Three days a week for 16 weeks from June to September 2024 at £250 per day.

Teesdale Special Flora Trust is seeking two part-time, self-employed assistant surveyors from June to September this year to learn the important skill of surveying the presence of rare plant species.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a nationally-renowned botanist in Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines National Landscape area. This is one of the UK's five 'botanical hotspots', famous for its unique collection of rare and scarce plant species – the so-called 'Teesdale Assemblage'. The survey work is mostly based on identifying plants using vegetative characters. This work would suit people who are developing careers as specialist freelance botanists.

Comprehensive information on the flora of the area and its history can be found in the book Teesdale's Special Flora, by Dr. Margaret Bradshaw, the founder of the Trust. Further information about the Trust can be found here.

The Trust has been awarded a 'Farming in Protected Landscapes' grant to further extend its ongoing programme of surveying, to establish a baseline record of the presence and location of the rare species and – for the first time – to provide training and mentoring for two assistant surveyors to learn the essential skills of doing this work, with a view to expanding the very small pool of botanists able to do so.

The contracts will be for two self-employed assistant surveyors to work for three days a week for 16 weeks from June to September at a day rate of £250 – making a contract value of £12,000 per post.

The survey sites are quite remote, so applicants will need to:

  • have a full driving licence and their own vehicle
  • be able to cope with days in remote locations on fairly rough terrain and in all weathers
  • have, or be prepared to obtain (at the Trust's expense), an upland navigation and an outdoor or emergency first aid certificate.

To express an interest, please send a CV and covering letter to

Closing date: Monday 22 April 2024
