We have a fantastic opportunity to join a small and dedicated team who are delivering the transformation of a landscape at the Great Fen. The oldest, and one of the largest of the Wildlife Trusts living landscapes, is entering a new and exciting phase - thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Funds’ new grant award we are restoring farmed arable land to wetland, securing the missing link between two Fenland National Nature Reserves (Holme and Woodwalton Fens). We are also demonstrating new wet farming practices which we hope will inspire change across farmed peat soils nationally.
We are looking for a motivated and friendly individual who can bring their existing conservation, wetland and contract management experience to the team and leap straight into a complicated and exciting programme of activity. They will be an organised self-starter who will relish the challenge of bringing together all of the work streams to create something magical. Practical experience and a can-do attitude is a must.
