Crynodeb
Are you passionate about the natural world? Do you want to make a difference to one of the busiest National Nature Reserves in the country, but also one of the richest in terms of biodiversity?
Then this opportunity may be for you…
Romney Marsh Countryside Partnership (along with the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership) is a small not-for-profit organisation with just over 20 staff, which has three focus areas for its work: Managing Wild Spaces, Inspiring Local Communities and Reducing Our Climate Impact.
We work alongside the local community, our volunteers and partners to protect and enhance the wild spaces of south-east Kent so they can thrive as sustainable havens for wildlife. Through our work we also aim to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy and benefit from these wild spaces.
We are currently looking to recruit an outgoing and positive individual to join our team and assist with the management of the Dungeness Estate, part of Dungeness NNR.
Working alongside our team of rangers and volunteers, you will undertake a varied range of tasks from day-to-day, including habitat management; visitor engagement and management; infrastructure maintenance and repair; and wildlife surveying.
What we need from you:
With over half a million visitors a year, the job can be challenging and rewarding, and applicants will need to demonstrate their experience of working with the general public in busy environments and their ability to keep calm under pressure. You may have experience of managing visitors on a busy public site.
You should be able to demonstrate your interest and passion for the natural world and commitment to a career in wildlife conservation. You will have excellent written, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and have experience of working with and/or leading volunteers.
The majority of the work involves being outdoors in all weathers and you will need to be able to undertake physical work on difficult terrain.
Outgoing and self-motivated, you will be able to work flexibly and under your own initiative as well as part of a team. You will be computer literate and hold a full, clean UK driving licence.
What we offer you:
We provide a fun, friendly, inclusive and flexible working environment along with a range of other benefits, including:
- Benenden Health membership and Employee Assistance Program;
- Opt-in Local Government Pension Scheme with the opportunity for staff to make advanced, voluntary contributions (AVCs) to top up their pension;
- Generous annual leave provision;
- A programme of Personal Development, including certificated training and learning through our experienced, knowledgeable team;
- Staff Discount Scheme;
The role requires a full, clean UK driving licence.
Due to the nature of this role the successful applicant will be required to undertake an Enhanced DBS check as part of their pre-employment clearances.
As this role involves the use of vibration equipment, any offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory medical clearance. We will ask you to complete a medical questionnaire which will be sent to our occupational health medical advisor and as a result of this you may be asked to undergo a medical.
Next Steps
For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Owen Leyshon, Natural Environments Partnership Officer, by email: owen.leyshon@dover.gov.uk or by phone: 07770 670316.
Interviews will be held on Wednesday 15 May 2024.
The interview format will involve a question-based interview and site-based assessment. Full information will be provided to the short-listed candidates.
