Peterborough, United Kingdom Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Full time

This post will have a base in either Peterborough or Aberdeen.

JNCC has adopted a hybrid working approach, allowing colleagues to benefit from time in
the office, with the flexibility also to work from home. Employees are expected to work from
our office base for 1 - 2 days a month as a minimum, this will vary by team and the exact
balance will depend on the nature of your role. We can provide more details at the interview
and offer stages.

Who are JNCC?

Established in 1991, we’re the UK’s statutory advisor on issues affecting the natural
environment across the UK and internationally. Our primary role is advising all four
Governments of the UK. We also work with private sector organisations to support decision
making on the sustainable use of marine waters and natural resources around the UK. JNCC is led
by the Joint Committee, which brings together members from the nature conservation bodies for
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and independent members appointed by the
Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under an independent Chair.
Support is provided to the Committee by approx. 270 people who bring together scientific and
technical expertise, extensive knowledge of policy at global, European and national levels, and
skills in working with other organisations. Staff are based in two main offices in Peterborough
and Aberdeen.

Why JNCC?

We’re small enough (c.270 staff) that your voice is heard by everyone including the
CEO, but big enough that we have all the skills, resources and people you’ll need to get the
job done. All our staff are passionate about conservation and making a difference to the world
we live in. We have a very flexible, inclusive and welcoming organisational culture. Our
Executive Management provides employees with the freedom and tools you will need, and our
friendly team will assist you in your role.

JNCC is committed to maintaining employee health and wellbeing, whether it is
physically, emotionally, financially or socially, and offers a range of benefits to support
employees in this. Such benefits include the option to join the Civil Service Pension Scheme,
professional and personal development opportunities as well as an exciting job in a unique
environment.

**Hours of work**: Full-time

Normal minimum hours of attendance for the post are 36 hours per week over a 5-day period,
Monday to Friday.

Flexi time is available. This post may also be suitable for job share.

**Annual Leave**:
The annual leave allowance is 25 days per year, rising to 30 days per year after 5 years’
service. There are also 12 days public and privilege leave. Part-time staff will receive this
on a pro rata basis.

The Nature Conservation Policy and Advice (NCPA) Team in JNCC plays a key role in nature
conservation in the UK, working with partners in the country nature conservation bodies
(CNCBs), the UK and devolved governments and the wider nature conservation community. We
maintain an overview of UK nature conservation policy and legislation; facilitate, convene and,
where required, co-ordinate joint UK working on key topics; and work with UK countries on areas
of priority where JNCC contributes complementary capabilities of evidence and advice. Within
JNCC, the NCPA works collaboratively across the organisation delivering shared solutions, for
example on protected areas, and in developing evidence-based approaches to addressing
environmental threats and opportunities.

We are looking for someone with an all-round knowledge of nature conservation and environmental
issues in the UK, and with a good grasp of what the future might hold in addressing the
environmental challenges and ambitions in the UK. You will be managing successful engagement
with the governments of the four countries of the UK the CNCBs and other government agencies,
and wider stakeholders on the development of new initiatives for nature recovery and the
provision of public goods (including the Environmental Land Management Scheme in England). This
work is to ensure JNCC’s evidence and advice is effectively deployed.

You will need to have an understanding of the developing policy surrounding biodiversity,
agriculture, the wider environment, and of the supporting science and evidence. You will be
involved in projects across the team and will lead specific areas, depending on your
experience, skills and interests.

Post Duties

Provide policy and technical advice and expertise on issues relating to biodiversity in the
UK.

Support the team’s work in facilitating joint UK-work on biodiversity, protected areas and
natural capital, bringing innovative ways to build relationships with key partners and
stakeholders from across the UK to deliver the best outcomes for nature recovery.

Contribute to a range of projects related to the work of the NCPA including land use;
protected areas, indicators and reporting.

Gather and interpret intelligence in relevant policy areas within UK and devolve
