About The Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic, practical, and highly organised Project Manager (Conservation Breeding) to join the Conservation Breeding Unit (CBU) at WWT Slimbridge.

From autumn 2026 to early 2029, the successful candidate will play a central role in delivering the next phase of our Godwit Futures project, funded through Natural England’s Species Recovery Programme (SRP). This ambitious project aims to strengthen the UK population of Black-tailed Godwits (BTG) through targeted releases of captive-bred birds to reinforce existing breeding populations and to establish new ones.

You will also contribute to the development of new conservation breeding programmes, including projects involving non-avian wetland species.

Occasional travel to other WWT sites and UK field locations will be required.

Lead project delivery in line with WWT’s Project Management Framework, ensuring outputs are achieved on time and within budget
Maintain and deliver excellent standards of biosecure avicultural care for the BTG conservation breeding population, including accurate record-keeping
Take a hands-on role in the design, construction, and maintenance of conservation breeding infrastructure, including aviaries, enclosures, and site equipment
Manage vegetation within biosecure areas to support habitat and operational requirements
Work with external contractors and project partners, and represent WWT professionally to stakeholders and funders

This is a full time position working 37.5 hours per week 5 days in 7, including weekends, public holidays, and occasional evenings.

About You

We are looking for a dedicated and experienced conservation professional with a passion for wetland species recovery through conservation breeding and reintroduction.

The role could suit someone with avicultural experience who’s looking for the next step up into project management, or alternatively a strong project manager who has worked with wild bird species in captivity and/or conservation breeding programmes previously and is willing to develop and apply husbandry skills. You should be ready to bring:

Proven experience delivering conservation or species recovery projects
Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise and deliver to deadlines
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence a wide range of partners including land managers, scientists, policymakers, and funders
An ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team with a collaborative mindset, and experience building trusted relationships across diverse groups

If you are passionate about conservation and want to play a key role in delivering species recovery in wetland and farmed landscapes, we would love to hear from you.

Please view the full job description for all the responsibilities and specifications for the role.

We will be actively reviewing applications. The advert may close early if a successful candidate is found.
