Conservation Officer Jobs in Bristol

Freshwater Habitats Trust is the UK’s leading charity for all freshwaters. We are an evidence-based, conservation charity that works to protect UK and European freshwater wildlife through practical and innovative nature conservation projects. 

Data and evidence are vital in prioritising our work across the organisation and building the Freshwater Network. They are also vital when influencing external audiences to achieve our mission to reverse the decline in freshwater biodiversity. 

This is a new role in the organisation and reflects an urgent requirement to collate, organise and manage a large volume of research, survey and other data collected by Freshwater Habitats Trust over the last four decades, the potential of which is not currently being fully realised. 

It is critical that through the development of an organisational data strategy we can:

· Provide evidence of our research and advocacy.

· Showcase Freshwater Habitats Trust’s expertise.

· Facilitate effective teamwork within and between project and organisational teams.

· Enable efficient project delivery and public / partner engagement.

· Guide the strategic delivery of conservation projects through Important Freshwater Area analysis mapping and reporting.

The role will work closely with the strategic Research and Data Sub-Group of the Senior Management Team who are responsible for driving this work forwards.

This position requires a creative, dynamic and enthusiastic person who works well as part of a team whilst being self-motivated and ambitious.
