About the role

Are you passionate about caring for the environment? We have an exciting opportunity to join
our Conservation team as a Conservation Advisor working with your colleagues to manage the
habitats on our land. This will include implementing conservation plans and working with our
stakeholders, to provide a positive contribution to biodiversity.

Within this role you will be supporting the management of invasive non-native species,

timescales, supported by a Conservation Specialist where required. This ensures recommendations
are accurate to maintain trust and confidence.

landholdings.

will be working alone.

communication to stakeholders to ensure effective engagement. In addition, you will have an
awareness of licensing processes for protected species to support the business.

You will enjoy developing your knowledge of NWL’s legal environmental obligations to ensure we
remain compliant.

A full UK driving licence is essential for the role.
