About This Role

We are seeking a dedicated Conservation Ecologist to play a pivotal role in shaping our ecological vision across a diverse portfolio of properties spanning Somerset.

Our Landscape and Mission

This expansive landholding encompasses over 6,700 hectares, encompassing Exmoor, Quantock Hills, Mendip Hills, and the North Somerset Coast.

  • Proven experience in providing evidence-based advice on habitat management and creation for nature conservation purposes, including expertise in protected species and sites.
  • Excellent identification skills for British plant and animal communities, along with hands-on experience in standard survey and monitoring techniques, such as UKHab.
  • A strong ability to translate survey and monitoring data into actionable land management guidance and plans.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of relevant legislation, policies, and grant schemes applicable across England.
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills, enabling you to build effective internal and external relationships with staff, volunteers, and partners.
  • Proficiency in IT tools, including GIS and databases.
