Overview
We are looking for an ecologist to join support the work of the existing Langholm Initiative staff team here at the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve in Langholm.
The initial focus of the work will be to carry out the surveys required as part of our annual ecological monitoring work. We hope the successful candidate will also support us in shaping a wider ecological monitoring framework for the reserve to help inform decision making and monitor progress in the future.
Beyond this we are generally looking for someone to support our whole system’s approach to ecological restoration, provide advice and guidance on our ongoing management and project activity. It is crucial that you are comfortable working in a community setting, are an effective communicator and are willing to be flexible in your way of working. The work will involve a balance between office and site-based work throughout the year.
