Countryside Surveyor

Surrey Wildlife Trust is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts across the UK, a grassroots movement working to protect and connect at least 30 per cent of land and sea for nature's recovery by 2030.

‘Our vision for a wilder Surrey is a future with abundant wildlife and nature recovery networks rich in biodiversity.’ We will realise this vision by creating bigger, better and more joined up areas of land for biodiversity benefit through direct conservation land management and key partnerships.

Working across the county, the core role of the two Countryside Surveyors within our Reserves Management Team is to regularly monitor our sites to observe a site specific set of ecological and management features and feedback records so that the Trust can ensure it is complying with management plans and meeting our statutory and contractual obligations.

We are looking for a second surveyor to primarily work on the East of the county.

If you have an excellent & broad understanding of Countryside Management best practice, policies and principles (including habitat management/restoration and agri-environment schemes), possess good communication skills and strong attention to detail, enjoy primarily working alone and particularly revel in being outdoors in all weathers, please go to our website to read the full job profile. 

This role will involve driving significant distances within Surrey and then walking across a variety of terrain on a daily basis; a full driving licence is essential as our locations cannot easily be accessed by public transport as well as a good level of physical health.

The full job profile and detailed person specification plus the application form are on our website www.surreywildlifetrust.org

We are committed to having an inclusive and diverse workplace and encourage applications from backgrounds which may be underrepresented in our sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. 

We are committed to offering an interview to all candidates that meet the essential criteria for the post.  Please let us know if you require any adjustment to make our recruitment process more accessible; recruitment may be virtual using Zoom or Teams but is most likely to be in person at Pond Farm on Wisley Common.

Please apply using the Application Form to douglas.simmons@surreywt.org.uk by midday Thursday 9^th September 2021.
