County Ecologist (Biodiversity Net Gain)

tendersglobal.net

Worcestershire County Council is recruiting a County Ecologist to increase the capacity of our
Ecology and Environmental Policy Team and to take a lead on our Biodiversity Net Gain work. Now
that Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is national planning practice, the team need additional
capacity to develop and implement BNG monitoring, habitat management and reporting systems.
You’ll also advise and train WCC colleagues and help to prepare local BNG policy and guidance.

BNG offers us an exciting, improved opportunity to achieve ecological betterment via
development, and your work will lead to real, long-term environmental gains. Alongside
desk-based work on BNG policy, advice and administration, there are opportunities to undertake
field surveys for land with potential for use in BNG off-setting, and ultimately to monitor
sites which provide off-set biodiversity units. Within the wider Ecology and Environmental
Policy Team, we also undertake a wide range of environmental projects and wildlife surveys
(e.g., preliminary ecological assessments, surveys for bats, badgers, amphibians, reptiles,
roadside verge nature reserves etc) and the County Ecologist will be able to support these,
where time and interest permit. We’ll also support your Continued Professional Development, to
help develop your ecological skills and knowledge. Ecology and Environmental Policy is a small
and friendly team with a wide range of specialist interests; we’re looking forward to welcoming
a new ecologist and widening our nature conservation work.
