Are you committed to increasing biodiversity? Would you like the opportunity to share your passion in supporting others to also take steps to protect nature across West Devon?

As our Wildlife Warden co-ordinator, you will support towns, parishes, community groups and individual volunteers across the borough in their work to monitor, record and improve biodiversity.

The co-ordinator will communicate with local wildlife groups, help to identify and connect individual volunteers and experts, research and establish a resource list for biodiversity project in local parishes, help organise training days with ecologists and naturalists, publicise local efforts to help groups reach a broader audience and work with the Devon Wildlife Trust, Devon County Council and other county-wide groups to help West Devon meet its target of a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain in the habitat value of its green and wooded public spaces by 2025.

You’ll need to have a basic knowledge of practical ecology and be good at working with people of all ages (including local Councils and farmers) as well as being good at administrative work and record-keeping.

The post is a fixed-term 12 month contract for 15 hours per week. These can be worked flexibly in order to reach out to a wide audience. It is anticipated that a large proportion of the hours will need to be in evenings and weekends.
