The work of the ecological consultancy team plays a vital role in delivering our vision of a
wilder Worcestershire where there is more nature everywhere for everyone. The postholder will

• Action for nature: 1 in 4 taking action for nature by 2030.
• Sustaining our future: more diversity, more funding and carbon zero by 2030.

Worcestershire Wildlife Consultancy has been delivering high quality ecological services to
clients in Worcestershire and beyond for over 30 years. Our team provides sound and practical
advice across a range of ecological services. We are looking for someone to join the growing
team to help the consultancy deliver high quality services in line with the needs of our
clients and best ecological practice.

We are looking for someone with professional experience as an Ecologist with some protected
species licences in place. To be successful in this role requires good organisation, experience
of delivering ecological advice and services and effective communication with key internal and
external stakeholders.

Worcestershire Wildlife Consultancy is part of a network of Wildlife Trust Consultancies. As
such we can draw on the expertise and experience of 20 other consultancy teams across the UK.

We’re Wild About Inclusion. To us, this means inspiring, empowering and
engaging people from all backgrounds, cultures, identities and abilities, to change the natural
world for the better. It also means cultivating inclusive workspaces that are free from
discrimination, where differences are valued, everyone can be themselves and flourish, just
like nature.

A full driving licence is essential.
