Advert
Kent has a rich and diverse biodiversity. The wide range of species, and the habitats they rely on, contributes considerably to the county's economy and the quality of life of those living, working and visiting Kent. Over the coming years, the conservation and enhancement of this valuable natural heritage faces significant challenges from growth, changes to land management and use, and the impacts of climate change.
Our Biodiversity Officers help the County Council, and Kent’s districts planning authorities, address these challenges by providing specialist ecological advice across a range of functions, particularly development management and forward planning. It is the Officer’s role to ensure that wildlife is appropriately considered throughout the county’s planning systems so that Kent’s biodiversity is effectively protected, managed and enhanced.
Over the next few years, our Biodiversity Officers will be at the forefront of supporting the county’s planning authorities prepare for, and then implement, biodiversity net gain.
As our Ecological Advice Service expands and develops we have an opportunity for you to join our dedicated team. We are looking for a professional that has a relevant qualification to degree level; and a detailed working knowledge of wildlife and the relevant legislation and policy in place to protect and enhance it. You should have experience of providing high quality, clear and coherent ecological advice, particularly within planning, with strong collaborative working and influencing skills.
