Summary
Job Advert
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint two Peat
Project Officers.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our Peat programme and play a role in delivering several large projects. As a member of
our busy, dynamic Restoration Team, you’ll lead on surveying damaged peatlands, preparing restoration plans and maps, contractor
management, monitoring restoration, and liaising with stakeholders.
We’d love to hear from you if you have experience of working in land management, ecological field surveys and practical use of
GIS. You will enjoy a mix of being outdoors in all weathers and desk-based work such as mapping and report writing. You’ll be
proficient in IT and should have the ability to communicate with enthusiasm, tact and diplomacy, both in writing and verbally. We
have a variety of projects and workstreams underway at once so organisation, a common-sense approach to problem solving and the
ability to respond to changing circumstances at short notice are essential for success in this role. Line management experience is
desirable.
A full driving licence will be essential for travelling to remote locations.
