Peterborough, Peterborough, United Kingdom The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire Cambrideshire Northamptonshire Full time
Wet Farming Engagement Officer (Peatland Progress)

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Wet Farming Engagement Officer to join our team at The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire. As part of the National Lottery Heritage Funded Peatland Progress Project, you will play a pivotal role in leading and delivering engagement activities with land managers, farmers, growers, scientists, policy makers, and the public, explaining and engaging them in wet farming (Paludiculture) as a concept and an applied practice.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver a range of engagement activities, including onsite visits and offsite outreach, using a trailer-mounted 'Mobile Inspiration Hub' or 'Tiny House.'
  • Assist in the supervision of short-term Youth Internships in years 3 and 4 of the Peatland Progress project.
  • Combine with the Wet Farming Delivery Officer role to create a full-time post, if all criteria are met.

About the Role:

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small and dedicated team who are delivering the transformation of a landscape at the Great Fen. 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.

Requirements:

  • Experience in engagement and outreach activities, particularly in a conservation or environmental context.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work with diverse stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with a flexible approach to work.

What We Offer:

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as the opportunity to work on a high-profile project that will make a real difference to the environment. If you are passionate about wet farming and conservation, and have the skills and experience to match, we would love to hear from you.
