We are very excited to be recruiting a lead for our Species Recovery work in Sussex. This is a rare and timely opportunity to join the Nature Recovery Team, to refocus the work that Sussex Wildlife Trust delivers on Species, and to enable important work on Ecosystem Engineers and Keystone species.
Our new Species Recovery officer will initially split their time between leading the Sussex Beaver Partnership with the restoration of Beavers at a catchment scale, and supporting the South East Pine Marten project to deliver a 10 year strategy for Pine Marten Recovery. In addition, you will be writing a species recovery strategy for us, to help us inform and drive forward our work on Keystone species.
You will provide guidance and support on the plethora of species recovery opportunities which are presenting themselves, and whether / how SWT engages with these. This will include engaging with communities and landowners to move forward Beaver and Pine Marten work in key landscapes.
