- Cultivate strong relationships with a range of stakeholders, including colleagues, partners, tenants, volunteers, consultants, and external organizations to support your conservation efforts.
Who We Seek
- A deep understanding of ecology and land management practices. This could be demonstrated through a degree in ecology or related natural sciences, or extensive experience working in the countryside within an ecological or conservation field.
- 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.
