SERT is seeking a highly competent Geographical Information Systems (GIS) professional with a
passion for the natural environment to join our growing team. This is a role dedicated to data,
evidence and GIS. The primary purpose of the position is to underpin the evidence-based
approach taken by the Trust by managing, analysing and communicating spatial data to inform
effective river catchment management. You will lead on developing opportunities for the Trust
to work with others and develop partnership projects, by building relationships with others
whose objectives align with our own, such as Local Authorities, Environmental NGOs, water
companies etc.
By applying and demonstrating the value of using modern spatial analysis, modelling and
emerging technology to the problems we face in addressing the issues impacting our rivers and
catchments, you will identify opportunities for business development with our partners and
support initiatives to raise funds to expand the GIS function of the Trust. Whilst being part
of a vibrant and dynamic organisation, you will also support colleagues to interrogate,
analyse, visualise and present data to support the ecosystem services/natural capital planning
and integrated catchment management activities of the Trust and the Catchment Partnerships that
it hosts.
We are seeking a personable, adaptable and organised GIS professional with an eye for
detail and an associated interest and specialism in either IT, statistics, programming, web
development or interactive mapping. This position will suit a self-starter with individual
initiative who is comfortable setting priorities and managing simultaneous tasks. We welcome
innovative, creative individuals who want to apply their excellent data analysis and
visualisation skills, working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and bringing their own ideas
to help the Trust deliver its mission of healthy rivers for all.
We would be interested to hear about your skills and interests and how you would like to
develop this role and the application of spatial analysis across the Trust in the future. This
is an exciting opportunity that will suit a natural leader and great communicator who will help
lead the development of GIS and IT systems in a growing and dynamic organisation making a real
difference for the environment.
The deadline for applications is 21st April (with interviews via
Microsoft Teams, dates to be advised).
Please note: All applicants must have the right to work in the UK. We are unable to sponsor
applicants from overseas.
