Crynodeb
We have an opportunity for a grazing specialist to join us at Essex Wildlife Trust to lead on all aspects of our grazing management.
As the Conservation Grazing Manager (CGM), you will lead a team of Conservation Grazing Officers and volunteer “lookers.” Together, you will oversee the successful execution of the annual grazing programme across our reserves, while ensuring the health and welfare of our in-house livestock in accordance with the ‘five freedoms.’ Your role will also focus on maintaining the health and safety of all grazing operations, whether licensed or in-house, and steering these activities towards greater sustainability and cost-efficiency.
In this role, you will provide practical and technical guidance on all aspects of grazing and livestock husbandry, including infrastructure, handling, and safe transportation. You will also be directly responsible for the registration, auditing, and sale of all livestock, adhering to the Trust’s financial procedures.
Blue House Farm
You will be expected to maintain and update a Grazing Business Plan that supports sound asset management and sustainable growth for our herds and flocks. This includes regular income forecasting from livestock sales and overseeing the compliance and organisation of livestock movements, pedigree herd-books, and animal registers, delegating these tasks as necessary. Additionally, you will play a key role in developing and supporting the grazing team, ensuring resilience and effective succession planning.
Your responsibilities will extend to negotiating, renewing, and managing the contracts and licences with all grazing licensees and contractors on the Trust’s landholdings. As the lead officer, you will ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and statutory land management regulations related to grazing, livestock movements, and animal welfare.
Collaboration with the Conservation Evidence team will be essential, as you work together to monitor the impacts of grazing on the biodiversity of our nature reserves, making adjustments to the grazing programme to maximise ecological benefits.
Grazing plays a vital role in maintaining Essex's landscapes and biodiversity. The county’s diverse habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, wetlands, and coastal areas, benefit significantly from the managed grazing of cattle, sheep, and ponies. Essex Wildlife Trust is at the forefront of managing these natural spaces, with numerous nature reserves that thrive under well-planned grazing regimes.
For further details including a full job description, please refer to the 'Role Information Pack'. This is a permanent, full-time position, offering a starting salary of approximately £38,000 per annum. The role requires working five out of seven days each week, with a team rota in place for grazing coverage from Monday to Sunday, including on-call duties.
Essex Wildlife Trust is committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone is welcome. As a conservation charity, we know how important diversity is, both in our natural world and amongst the people we employ. We want everyone to feel valued and empowered to contribute to our vision of “A county rich in wildlife with people connected to nature”.
As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible.
