Greenspace Information for Greater London CIC (GiGL) is recruiting for a Nature Recovery Data
Assistant to join our team and help deliver our vision of London’s natural environment being
appreciated, understood, considered, and improved. If you are an innovative thinker with a
passion for data and London’s natural environment, and believe that decision-making based on
good quality information is vital, don’t miss this exciting opportunity to join GiGL.

This role is an opportunity for the right person to gain an understanding of nature recovery in
London through the Rewild and Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) programmes. The post is a
full time position for 12 months.

You will work to improve the availability of good quality data within London, specifically for
use with the London LNRS and the GLA’s Rewild Programme. Communication skills will be key to
engage with stakeholders involved with nature and environmental data, from collection through
to use.

You will use your data entry and data management skills to input to, and edit, species and
habitat information held in GiGL’s databases and datasets ensuring it is accessible for
informing evidence-based decision making. Training will be available as part of the role.

The successful candidate will be a proficient user of Microsoft Office applications and
understand the importance of responsible data handling and management. An interest in the
functions of a local environmental records centre and understanding of species recording is
desirable.
