Job description

The delivery of farm inspections is a top priority for the EA. We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual with excellent communication skills to join our Agriculture Team.

Agricultural practices can cause significant and chronic pollution to our precious water environment. As an Environment Officer - Agriculture, you will assess what is needed to stop pollution and damage to the environment by working with farmers to improve legal compliance.

We are looking for dynamic individuals, ideally with experience and understanding of UK agriculture, to work with farmers to increase their levels of compliance with existing environmental regulations. This will help safeguard and improve the future environment.

In this role you will be:

- Carrying out targeted farm inspections across a range of sectors; from permitted intensive farms to small family farms, land spreading operators, water abstractors and those with discharge consents
- Engaging with farmers and land managers to influence them to change their practice, which may involve difficult conversations
- Collecting and reporting on data and findings, paying close attention to detail
- Undertaking regulatory enforcement action and, when needed, the serving of notices and prosecutions
- Work collaboratively with other teams and specialists.
- Required to attend incidents at short notice, both environmental and flooding, both in and out of hours.

Our work is varied and interesting and no two days are the same.The team
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a front-line team where your actions and decisions make a real difference to the people and environment in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. As part of the wider Land and Water Team, the friendly and supportive Agriculture Team helps to protect some of the most sensitive and well used environments in Britain. We are frequently out and about in our predominantly rural patch and diverse agricultural sector.Experience/skills required
We are seeking people who have:
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including being tactful with customers. Experience of communicating with the farming community would be particularly beneficial, but not essential.
Self-motivation and the ability to prioritise workload and adapt to changeable circumstances.
An ability to make timely and rational decisions based on relevant information and experience.
A desire to help protect and improve the environment. A knowledge of environmental issues, especially those associated with the agriculture sector, would be beneficial but not essential.
A desire and ability to learn
Experience in a regulatory role would be beneficial.
Full UK drivers’ licence.Contact and additional information

This role involves the need to travel (for inspections, incident response and to attend meetings), so a full driver’s licence is essential.

Interviews will be held F2F week commencing 27 October 2025.Length of contract
Temporary - Maternity Backfill for 12 monthsCompetence 1
Manages SelfDescription
Has full awareness of own strengths, weaknesses, impact and approach. Effectively organises self and takes personal responsibility for own role in the Environment Agency.

What skills, experience and attributes do you have that would make you a great Environment Officer in the Agriculture Team?Competence 2
Influences and Persuades OthersDescription
Presenting a case in a convincing and attractive way that will win people over, encouraging them to follow plans willingly; often succeeding where logic and reason alone would fail.

Influencing small family run farms may require different techniques than with a large business. Using an example, explain how you have influenced someone, for example a customer, to do something they may not have initially wanted to do.
- How did you explain the benefits to present a credible case to them?
- Do you adapt your communication style to suit your customer?
