**Job summary**:

- This position is based at Ashford (Kent), Worthing**Job description**:
Do you have a passion for nature and the environment? Do you want to make a real difference and secure significant environmental gains in the present and the future? Do you enjoy working in a team? Can you see yourself advising communities and customers to maximise gains for the Natural Environment?

If this appeals to you, a career at Natural England offers rewarding opportunities to secure environmental improvements and play your part in creating a better future for people and nature.

The priority work Natural England is delivering includes:

- Establishing a Nature Recovery Network to help wildlife thrive
- Monitoring environmental changes to identify and help reduce the effects of climate change
- Working with farmers and landowners to develop greener food production methods
- Advising on plans for new developments to maximise gains for nature
- Providing ways for people to better connect with nature, including green social prescribing

We are the Government’s advisor for the natural environment, playing a vital role in delivering the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan, an ambitious vision which brings new opportunities to protect and enhance and to achieve real outcomes for the environment.

Natural England has an important role in enabling local authorities and other plan-makers to embed nature into a range of place-based plans, and you will be central to shaping strong partnerships to drive this ambition.

These are leading roles in which you’ll work with partners to progress sustainable development and recovery of nature in England. You will use your strengths to form strong partnerships across all sectors including environment, planning, transport, health, education, economic growth and regeneration. You will help shape place-based plans using different levers, but with a focus on biodiversity net gain (BNG), alongside colleagues working on strategic solutions, Green Infrastructure (GI) Standards and Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS).

This biodiversity net gain role will help Defra design and plan for the implementation of mandatory biodiversity net gain as well as helping prepare Local Authorities. You will engage locally with Local Planning Authorities to prepare for mandatory net gain, work with stakeholders to understand their existing and future skill and capacity needs to enable effective BNG delivery and collaborate, influence and build trusting relationships with partners to identify and secure strategic opportunities to deliver gains for people and nature.

You will work closely with colleagues and Local Authorities to ensure strategic solutions and appropriate policies are integrated into local plans for nature’s recovery. As postholder, you will work closely with colleagues in sustainable development casework or marine and play an important part in shaping Natural England’s responses, helping to secure sustainable development and opportunities for the natural environment.

You will need to be flexible and opportunistic in the role Natural England plays and be responsive to the needs of our local partners. It’s a fantastic opportunity to use your previous experience to bring people and nature together in an inclusive and collaborative way, to help develop strategic approaches that ensure that people from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds and diverse communities are able to experience the benefits of the natural environment.

A driving license will be useful but is not essential. Some site visits or partnership meetings may not be easily accessible by public transport. Natural England staff have access to hire cars for work purposes.
