- Are you passionate about nature’s recovery in our cities and towns? Do you want to deliver conservation management that sees wildlife and habitats restored and created across our landscape? We are currently seeking 2 x Conservation Officers to deliver vital work protecting and restoring nature in our region.

Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust is one of 46 local, independent Wildlife Trusts and is the charity that works to make the environment of Birmingham and the Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton) a better place for wildlife and people. We do this through conservation management, environmental education, advocacy, and community involvement. We work with a wide range of partners, including local authorities, community groups, and corporate partners to deliver this work. The Trust has, for example, recently secured funds to deliver a major new nature recovery project entitled _Wild Walsall_.

We are recruiting two roles: one to develop and deliver management of land at our engagement sites and work with volunteers from corporate partners, and the second to deliver project-funded conservation works. These posts offer an exciting and rewarding opportunity to join the conservation team and make a real difference to nature’s protection and recovery in Birmingham and the Black Country. The post holders will undertake varied habitat and species work to protect and restore local wildlife.

The successful applicants will be passionate about conservation practice, very well-organised, and used to prioritising a varied workload. They will have excellent practical conservation skills, along with the confidence and ability to support and guide partners - such as community members, corporate volunteers, and contractors - to deliver positive outcomes for nature. Above all they will be driven by a commitment to see nature’s recovery across Birmingham and the Black Country’s urban landscape.

These are flexible roles, based in our offices within Birmingham, with frequent travel regionally but with the option of working from home, where appropriate. Occasional travel nationally may be required.

Benefits include 28 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata), a 7% employer contribution pension, flexible and hybrid working opportunities, an Employee Assistance Programme and working alongside a supportive and friendly group of nature lovers

Interviews are proposed for 9th and 10th April in person at Centre of the Earth, Winson Green, Birmingham.
