Farm Advisor X2

The Tees Rivers Trust, Northumbrian Water and The Rivers Trust are seeking 2 experienced farm
advisors to join their growing team. This role will involve working with farm businesses,
private industry, Natural England, Environment Agency and community interest partners in three
Tees river sub-catchments (20 waterbodies) to tackle diffuse water pollution in watercourses
and improve river water quality through the North East Catchments Hub.

**The role will involve set skills across**: agronomy, soil health, green finance and farm
team at Tees Rivers Trust, whose purpose is to enhance biodiversity and help farmers reduce the
levels of phosphate, nitrate and pesticides entering the water environment and work within a
wider regional team at the North East Catchments Hub, integrating with other agricultural
advisors within the region.

An important part of this programme is to identify and develop measures that can generate
significant income for farms through Catchment Nutrient Balancing approaches (offsetting
end-of-pipe removal of nutrients by working to address other sources for the same or greater
impact but wider benefits) and from creation and the sale of biodiversity net gain units. You
will therefore ideally have a working knowledge of these emerging markets.
