We are looking for a suitable candidate for the permanent, full-time post of Local

conservation action and decision-making throughout mid-Wales.

We are at the heart of the recording community in Powys and the Bannau Brycheiniog National
Park. We work closely with volunteers, species experts, conservation NGOs, Local Authorities,
utility companies, researchers, ecological consultants and the other Welsh LERCs.
