About The Role
Are you a graduate or post-graduate with a passion for ecology, looking to gain experience in ecological field survey work? Have you already worked for a season and are seeking more defined work over a 6-month period to further develop your nature identification skills? Do you enjoy getting outdoors and conducting surveys for Britain's protected species such as bats, badgers, and great crested newts?
We are seeking seasonal ecologists to assist with survey work in the Oxfordshire/Hertfordshire area. You will support, and be supported by, an experienced team of terrestrial ecologists providing ecological consultancy services to high-profile clients. The focus is on integrating ecological habitats and wildlife benefits within new developments. During this role, you will undertake a range of terrestrial ecology surveys and site supervisions, focusing on faunal species including bats, reptiles, and great crested newts, with potential to work with other species such as dormice and badgers. You will also gain experience in assisting with simple data reporting from survey results.
To be successful, you will need:
* A flexible and enthusiastic approach.
* Confidence to work with protected species surveys (training provided).
* Sound knowledge of UK wildlife and a keen interest in Natural History.
* The ability to work flexible hours and travel, including some overnight stays.
* Willingness to work up to five days per week, with opportunities for weekend work.
* A full driving license and own car, insured for business use.
