The programme funds partnership projects investing in biodiversity, water quality and access and recreational facilities focused around accessible areas of rivers, lakes, coasts, beaches, and other water environments.
The role will work alongside a Bluespaces Officer for NW, and you will be supported by NWG’s Strategic Catchment Manager and other NWG environmental experts, as well as other Essex and Suffolk Rivers Trust staff.
