Job reference: Senior Reserves Officer
Surrey Wildlife Trust is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts across the UK, a grassroots movement working to protect and connect at least 30 per cent of land and sea for nature’s recovery by 2030.
We are looking to recruit a Senior Reserves Officer, to initially provide maternity cover support for our East Team (handle challenging conservation delivery across a number of reserves and to drive plans forward by empowering the team, working with the wider Reserves Management department staff, prioritising effectively, responding to swiftly changing demands and dealing with complex issues) and then transition to being the project officer responsible for our growing portfolio of Land Trust SANGs across the county.
Candidates will need to be practical people managers who can demonstrate logical thinking, project management skills, passion for the joy of nature and determination to succeed.
You must have previous experience of successfully working within the environmental sector matched with an out-going, personable and friendly approach, and the ability to work with a wide range of people.
The job will involve a mix of being outdoors, managing contractors throughout the year, occasional lone working, managing agri-environments schemes, office work and working with partner organisations. A full driving licence is essential as our locations cannot easily be accessed by public transport.
If you believe you have the experience for the role and are able to fulfil the criteria outlined in the job profile, please complete an application form (available below), or provide a covering letter and CV, and send it to james.herd@surreywt.org.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 30th April 2025. Interviews will be held the following 2 weeks.
We are committed to having an inclusive and diverse workplace and encourage applications from backgrounds which may be underrepresented in our sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. Please let us know if you require any adjustment to make our recruitment process more accessible.
‘Our vision for a wilder Surrey is a future with abundant wildlife and nature recovery networks rich in biodiversity.’ We will realise this vision by creating bigger, better and more joined up areas of land for biodiversity benefit through direct conservation land management and key relationship management.
Guided by a collaborative vision where we all play a part in connecting nature, we provide expert advice and guidance to landowners and managers, making sure the land we look after leads by example, while inspiring and educating people and organisations across the county on what they can do. By doing this we will create a Surrey that is full of diverse and abundant wildlife, where nature is at the heart of individual choices, corporate decisions, and local economic and policy making. One that helps tackle the ongoing climate emergency, while supporting the health and wellbeing of all who live here.
