Do you have a passion for nature and the environment? Do you want to make a real difference? Do you enjoy working in a team? Do you enjoy speaking to farmers?

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:

- Working with farmers and landowners to develop greener food production methods
- Establishing a Nature Recovery Network to help wildlife thrive
- Monitoring environmental changes to identify and help reduce the effects of climate change
- 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.

**Catchment Sensitive Farming**

Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) is delivered by Natural England in partnership with Defra, the Environment Agency, and the Forestry Commission as a part of NE’s farm advice service. CSF operates through a network of Farm Advisers and local partners. CSF delivers Defra’s 25-year plan ambitions for water quality, air quality (ammonia) and natural flood mitigation through nature-based solutions. We work alongside farmers and partners to find practical ways to take action for the natural environment.

The next few years will see significant changes to the support and schemes available to farmers. Associated with these changes will be improvements to Natural England’s farm advice service. This role will evolve in tandem with these changes.

Farm Advisers work in partnership with Farmers, Water Companies, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), Flood Authorities and others. All Farm Advisers will have the opportunity to enrol in a structured training programme.
