Job summary

What youll do...

Forestry Englands Biodiversity Plan sets out a bold ambition of nature recovery in the Nations Forests. Working across five principal focus areas, Forestry England aims to restore resilient biodiversity in the nations forests, delivering our vision to ensure that these forests provide the most valuable places for wildlife to thrive and expand in England.

Species Recovery Officers support the delivery of species recovery through conservation translocation projects in our districts and across England, from planning and feasibility through to delivery and post-release monitoring. Translocations enable species restoration where natural recovery is not possible, or unlikely within a reasonable timeframe. International and national guidance (e.g. IUCN, Defra) informs best practice and evidence-based decision-making to optimise project success.

Please see the job description below for more information and details about what we need from you.
