- The team- 1Do 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 Adviser 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.

**The Team**

This is an exciting opportunity to work in the Enforcement and Appeals Team in Natural England’s Complex Case Unit (CCU). The purpose of CCU is to improve handling of complex and high-risk casework. CCU has a critical role in supporting and developing organisational delivery across Natural England for positive environmental outcomes.

The Enforcement and Appeals team covers the investigation offences relating to species licensing, SSSIs, EIA (Agriculture) Regulations, Injurious Weeds, Heather & Grass Burning Regulations, and the Environmental Damage Regulations. We lead on the investigation of complex enforcement cases, delivery of enforcement sanctions and all regulatory and enforcement appeals, while also providing advice and support to NEWLS and Area Teams in relation to casework and reform. In addition, the Team leads on the delivery of Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme Investigations working closely with HSE and the Police. As a Team we contribute to achieving Natural England’s aims in terms of enforcement action including:

- achieving the restoration of environmental harm
- changing the behaviour of offenders
- eliminating any financial gain or benefit from non-compliance
- being proportionate to the nature of the offence and the harm caused
- deterring future non-compliance
- building Natural England’s reputation as a firm but fair regulator

The role will require national travel to locations to attend site visits, team meetings and training. This will sometimes require overnight stays.

There is therefore a requirement to hold a full driving licence

Flexible working patterns will generally be accommodated but please note that the suggested minimum working hours are 30 hours a week due to the nature of the role and workload.
