Are you a early career scientist looking to gain experience working in a range of wetland habitats within a supportive and internationally recognised team of wetland experts?
WWT's Wetland Evidence department are looking to recruit a seasonal fieldworker to support our expanding programme of ecological monitoring. Sitting in the Wetland BioScience team the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop field skills covering a range of taxa including pollinating insects, saltmarsh vegetation, aerial insectivores (bats and birds) and aquatic invertebrates. The role will also involve desk based data collation and management (including spatial data) as well as the opportunity to get involved in analysis and reporting tasks.
You will have the opportunity to work across a range of WWT's UK projects, with a particular focus on our Saltmarsh programme in which we are focused on gathering evidence to demonstrate the biodiversity superpowers of these important wetland habitats.
The role will centre on field-based survey work across a range of sites, primarily in the South West but also nationally so a willingness to travel and a driving licence are therefore essential.
This is a full-time position, working 37.5 hours per week, for a fixed period until 31st December 2026. During the fieldwork season, this position will require working on some weekends and bank holidays and working outside of normal hours. Considerable flexibility will be required during the fieldwork season. All overtime will be reimbursed through TOIL (time off in lieu).
