Our future has to be wilder!

We are seeking an Assistant Reserves Officer (North Hampshire) to join our cause.

As part of the Nature Recovery Hampshire team, you will assist the Reserves Officers in all aspects of the day-to-day management of the suite of nature reserves the team covers including large areas of the MoD estate in NE Hants, a complex of Reserves around Hook, and Pamber Forest. Sites include a broad and interesting range of habitats, including Heathland, Wooodland, Wood Pasture and Fen. You will assist with all aspects of practical estate management, including scrub cutting, fencing, chainsaw operating and tractor driving, across our portfolio of sites and occasional support of other teams elsewhere in the county. 

This role works closely with the wider Area team and will be expected to contribute to cross area activities or training. Continuing professional development is an important (and interesting) part of personal and cross-team activities.

We encourage applications from all sections of the community, particularly those underrepresented within our sector, including people from black, Asian, minority Ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a Movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.
