Derby, United Kingdom FPCR Full time

**Vacancies for Seasonal Assistant Ecologist - FPCR Lockington (Derby) - APPLY NOW**

Seasonal Assistant Ecologists are currently needed to undertake both survey work and site-based work at various sites across the Midlands and further afield. Survey work will mostly comprise protected species surveys (newts, bats etc), newt and reptile translocation work, and potentially habitat creation works. Whilst predominantly field based, there may also be some opportunity to assist in office-based work, including logging and mapping field data, with the data you collect being used to inform ecological impact assessments and mitigation measures across a range of projects.

Survey work will often require working away from home, including daytime and night and/or early morning work. We offer flexible hours so that you are able to fit working with us around other commitments, but we do require availability for at least two evening surveys (M/T/W/Th) and the following morning each week. It is not essential that you are able to commit to the full survey season.

A ‘can do’ enthusiastic and motivated attitude is essential, as is a keen interest in ecology and conservation, as work can be in remote locations, sometimes during poor weather and regularly out of normal hours. The ability to communicate well and work effectively as part of a team is vital and you’ll be organised and able to manage your time well to ensure surveys run smoothly.

You may already have experience of undertaking UK habitat and/or protected species surveys, a good understanding of British native species, wildlife legislation and planning policy relating to ecology. Reliable and accurate recording of field data on both paper and digital devices to a consistent and high standard is necessary, and good written skills will be an advantage. You may also be proficient with software such as QGIS

Full, on the job training is provided.

A full driving licence and access to a vehicle is necessary and you must have, or be prepared to add, Business Use to your car insurance policy. Existing experience and a current CSCS card is desirable for site-based work, but not essential.
