Assistant Ecologist (Seasonal)

Devon Wildlife Consultants (DWC) is the commercial consultancy arm of Devon Wildlife Trust. All
of DWC’s profits are used to support this successful wildlife charity. We are looking for an
Assistant Ecologist (Seasonal) with a flexible ‘can do’ attitude to join our friendly and
close-knit team.

Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) is Devon’s leading wildlife conservation charity, with over 36,000
members, 350 regular volunteers, 100 staff and 63 nature reserves. We are one of the larger
locally based organisations that collectively make up The Wildlife Trusts. DWT has pioneered
the reintroduction of beavers in England and the restoration of internationally rare habitats
like Culm Grassland.

The Assistant Ecologist (Seasonal) will support the team by carrying out field surveys
including evening bat surveys, practical habitat tasks, mapping, basic reports and quote
production. Due to the smaller size of the consultancy, the person employed will need to be
able to undertake a range of work relating to all aspects of ecological consultancy.

In return for your hard work and dedication you’ll enjoy a wide range of benefits including:

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing to 28 days after 5 years’ service)
• Agile working arrangements including home working
• Flexitime system
• Contributory pension scheme (conditions apply)
• Death in Service cover
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• Cycle to work scheme
• Training and development opportunities

This is a full-time, fixed term appointment until 30 September 2024 based at Aldens Court.

Interviews are being held on Thursday 7 March.

We welcome candidates of all backgrounds and abilities who meet the essential criteria for this
role. We are an inclusive organisation that is seeking to involve more diverse audiences in our
work.

DWT is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment.
