Form of work
SalaryYorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint a Biodiversity Net Gain Specialist. We are looking for an exceptional individual with the knowledge, drive and passion to help develop how the Trust recognises, responds to, and engages with opportunities that will support nature’s recovery in Yorkshire.
Done well, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) could make a significant positive contribution towards nature’s recovery. Our goal is to set the bar high for BNG and how we, and others, engage in it. Working collaboratively with teams across the Trust, you'll be ensuring the Trust takes advantage of opportunities for nature’s recovery (e.g. associated with BNG, development of other environmental markets, nature recovery networks).
This is an interesting and diverse role, that will draw upon your technical expertise (ecological survey, land management, environmental markets), strategic thinking (identifying and linking opportunities and developing mechanisms for delivery) and working with stakeholders and land managers to share knowledge and foster relationships.
How to apply:
Please submit an up-to-date CV and supporting statement. When writing your supporting statement, please refer to the person specification within the job description, and ensure you describe your relevant knowledge, skills and experience relevant to the role. Ideally, your CV and supporting statement should be in an editable format, such as Word, so we can anonymise your documents prior to the short-listing process. Please DO NOT include any personal details (name, address etc) on your supporting statement.
Closing date: 23rd May at midnight (12am)
Interview date: 4th June 2023
