Biodiversity Officer

An exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced conservation professional looking for a rewarding role involved in optimising biodiversity within a national charity.

The Heart of England Forest is well placed to provide a haven for wildlife, and optimising biodiversity is already a core activity in the Forest. We aspire to create and enhance biodiverse habitats, providing a nature recovery network, to ensure species survival and resilience in the face of our changing climate.

The Biodiversity Officer will be responsible for delivering biodiversity enhancement projects within the mosaic of habitats which form the Heart of England Forest. We are looking for someone with habitat creation and enhancement experience, particularly in relation to wetland habitats and natural flood management, who is keen to learn and has a “can do” attitude.

The ideal candidate will be a team player, comfortable in delivering biodiversity enhancement projects from development to implementation, drawing up projects, working with and supervising contractors and volunteers.
