An exciting opportunity has arisen to help improve biodiversity and habitat information in
Cambridgeshire, benefitting wildlife and informing future management, planning and research
across the region.

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Environmental Records Centre (CPERC) are looking for
someone to take on the role of GIS and Habitats Data Officer. Candidates should possess
significant GIS experience and have the desire to apply that to improving local biodiversity
information for the purposes of aiding nature conservation, planning and scientific research.
Strong data management skills, including working to high standards of accuracy and
organisation, are essential.

CPERC is hosted by the Wildlife Trust BCN and based at their offices in Cambourne, and as the
Local Environmental Records Centre for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is the central source
for biodiversity information for the area. We work with a wide range of data users and
providers, and the GIS and Habitats Data Officer will take the lead in managing habitat
information for the centre; at present this is primarily leading an established long-term
project to map broad habitats across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
