We are expanding the team at Footprint Ecology and seek a Senior Ecologist to work on nature conservation projects around the country. We are looking for an experienced ecologist with a passion for nature, who is used to working with NGOs, Statutory Agencies and Local Authorities, and who is familiar with UK conservation issues and legislation. The post will involve a portfolio of technical project work relating to land use planning, conservation land management, survey design and implementation, policy, and strategic planning.

The successful candidate will need to be familiar with the conservation sector and have good project management and report writing skills. The post provides an opportunity to be involved in important strategic work for wildlife whilst working for a compassionate, flexible employer in a small, close-knit, and supportive team, based in one of the most biodiverse locations in the UK.

This post is advertised as a permanent, full-time, position, although applications for part-time work will be considered. It will involve working as part of a team that is based in Dorset, but which undertakes work across the UK. We are happy to consider applicants who are based outside Dorset. Footprint Ecology is an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to ensuring all applications are treated fairly.
