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 develop your nature identification skills? Do you love getting outdoors and conducting surveys for Britain's protected species such as bats, badgers, and great crested newts?
We are seeking Field Ecologists to assist with survey work in the Kent area for 6 months during Spring and Summer. You will support and be supported by an experienced team of terrestrial ecologists providing ecological consultancy services to a high-profile client base. The focus will be on integrating ecological habitats and wildlife benefits within new developments. The role includes conducting terrestrial ecology surveys and site supervision, primarily focusing on faunal species like bats, reptiles, and great crested newts, with potential involvement with other species such as dormouse and badger. You will also gain experience in assisting with simple data reporting from survey results.
