About the Role

The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the engagement process to gather multi-sector input and ensure plans and strategies emerge that balance sector requirements with the need to protect and restore the environment. This role represents a very exciting opportunity to shape long-term plans, investment, and collaborative action that cuts across sectors and scales in securing improvements to the water environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build trust between all parties involved in the program to support the development of collaborative solutions and reach consensus around environmental aims.
  • Create an engagement program that leads to shared decision-making and prioritization of environmental improvements and investment within catchments.
  • Bridge the gap between technical work and collaborative decision-making, working within the technical and program management team to develop a good level of understanding of the technical concepts and goals of the program.

Additional Responsibilities

  • Act as WRE's lead point of contact with agricultural sector representatives, including the National Farmers Union (NFU), Country Land Business Association (CLA), Water for Food Group (WfFG), and existing and new Water Abstractor Groups (WAGs).
  • Support WfFG in the development of a WAG toolkit, setting out how groups of abstractors can work together and with regional groups like WRE to understand their water needs and their role in finding solutions to changing water availability.
  • Support Local Resource Option (LRO) screening studies, led by the Environment Agency, taking a lead role in specific tasks around stakeholder mapping and engagement.
  • Run WRE's Agriculture Forum with key work in 2024/25 to develop a framework for integrating agriculture into WRE's regional planning approach, working with WRE's Technical Director, WfFG, and existing WAGs.
  • Support the team in the day-to-day running of the 'virtual' office, getting involved in all aspects of the small but busy team's activities.

Requirements

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced professional with a strong background in stakeholder engagement, environmental planning, and water resources management. The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and facilitate collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
