The South East Rivers Trust has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic individual who is
keen to make a positive, lasting difference to the aquatic environment in the south east of
England.

The Role

We are seeking a Catchment Officer, to lead our work in two catchments across our area. You
will be our primary representative in your focal catchments, and will be responsible for
leading and chairing the local Catchment Partnerships. Through your Catchment Partnership work,
you will develop a deep local knowledge of your rivers and their stakeholders, which you will
leverage to develop programs of data and evidence gathering that will help to understand the
issues impacting river health in the catchments. Based on this knowledge, you will work with
partners to develop catchment plans and co-design solutions and mitigation projects that will
provide multiple benefits and make a real difference to river health.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with a level of scientific and/or technical
expertise, for example in land management, wetland design, aquatic biodiversity, habitat
enhancement, nature-based solutions, biodiversity net gain, natural flood management, fisheries
science, water resources, or water quality. You will bring this expertise to our Catchment
Partnerships and share it across the whole of our organisation.

The role will suit a natural leader and good communicator with relevant technical knowledge who
is personable and diplomatic with a passion for the water environment and its improvement.

This role will predominately cover the Loddon, Cuckmere and Pevensey Levels.
