The PROSPECTS Foundation is looking for a Development Officer for Hyndburn Council’s newly acquired Brookside (Bury
Meadows) site in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire.

Could you help to create a masterplan for transforming
an underused 35-hectare site in the heart of industrial Lancashire into a beacon of biodiversity,
habitat recovery, carbon capture and tangible climate action?

The Development Officer will work in
partnership with Hyndburn Borough Council, Proffitts – Investing in Communities CIC, Lancashire
Wildlife Trust, Ribble Rivers Trust and Stanhill Community Village Association to harness the
energy of local people and supporting organisations to create a masterplan for the future of the

produce a variety of ecological, safety and carbon reports and by undertaking a range of climate
awareness projects through consultation, community development and awareness raising
activities.

We’re looking for someone from an environmental/ecological background with project
