Reserves Officer West
Salary £19,000 pa 1 year fixed term contract (potential extension subject to funding)
We are looking for for an officer level position in the Land
Management Team that will help deliver the day to day practical
management of the Trust’s nature reserves, including assisting with
livestock husbandry duties in the region when required.
The West Region lies between Tewkesbury in the North and Chepstow in
the South of the county, with nature reserves clustered in the stunning
Lower Wye Valley, central Forest of Dean, Newent triangle and Severn
Vale.
The role will support the land management team in the delivery of a
full and varied work programme across the region. The post holder will
lead on supervising weekly volunteer work parties to achieve
conservation objectives across a diverse range of habitats, including
heathland, ancient woodland, floodplain meadows, quarries, species rich
grasslands and wetlands.
We are seeking to appoint a responsible and enthusiastic candidate
looking to take their next career step in conservation management. With
a passion for protecting wildlife, the post holder will ideally have
previous habitat management experience with a particular interest in
heathland/wetlands. Equally comfortable working individually or as part
of a team, the candidate will have a diplomatic and personable
demeanour, capable of engaging and enthusing both volunteers and members
of the public. The role will suit an adaptable person who already holds
relevant vocational certificates and has a wide range of practical land
management skills.
Gloucestershire accommodates a rich and varied landscape, ranging
from the Cotswold calcareous grasslands and beech woodlands in the east,
heathlands and ancient woodlands of the Forest of Dean and Wye valley in
the west, and river Severn floodplain meadows more centrally.
Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust works to connect and improve the county’s
wildlife and wild places, managing important designated habitats which
support national and European protected species. In the west region GWT
and its partners have embarked upon exciting landscape scale projects to
create bigger, better and more connected ecological networks. The nature
reserves provide the focal point for a Living Landscape vision where
people and wildlife can thrive.
