Our coastline is a vital home, resting point and migratory route for many bird species that are present in internationally important numbers. The conservation of these species is a priority.
The Bird Wise team is looking for 2 Engagement Officers with great communication skills and good knowledge of our local wildlife (predominantly bird species) to help us educate members of the public about the importance of our coastline and how they can adapt their behaviour to prevent bird disturbance. The ideal candidate should have experience in public engagement and speaking, as well as a good understanding of coastal habitats and processes, particularly those of the East Kent Coast.
To engage with the public, candidates must possess excellent communication, negotiation, and consultation skills. The role also involves finding creative ways to engage with all age groups.
