Wessex Rivers Trust is a growing and dynamic environmental charity dedicated to the protection and conservation of rivers and their catchments in Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The Trust has an exciting portfolio of river conservation and restoration projects, and we are looking for two Project Assistants to help us develop, prepare, and deliver them.
