About the Westcountry Rivers Trust
Formed in 1994, the Trust was established to restore Westcountry rivers. Measures to protect
rivers can help to save money for farmers, lower costs for water companies, boost tourism,
reduce the need to dredge estuaries and even benefit human health. Everything the Trust does is
informed by the best available science. Their work is driven by an ‘ecosystems approach,’
considering the function of the entire catchment, not just the rivers that flow within them
Today the charity works with a wide range of stakeholders from landowners to local communities,
businesses, farmers and water companies to restore and protect the rivers, lakes, estuaries and
coastal areas for the benefit of people, wildlife and the local economy. There has never been a
more important time to work on the rivers of the West Country as the impacts of climate
emergency and the ecological crisis is forcing society to invest in building catchment
resilience.
Spurred by a shared love of rivers, the Westcountry Rivers Trust is very much a grassroots
organisation, brought into existence from the bottom up. In the early 90s, a group of
individuals, passionate – but concerned – about the waterways around them, began to stitch
together their ambitions for restoring Westcountry rivers, laying the foundations for the Trust
we know today.
Everything the Trust does is informed by the best available science. Their work is driven by an
‘ecosystems approach,’ considering the function of the entire catchment, not just the rivers
that flow within them
It was this new perspective – not to mention the hands-on and tireless approach to river
restoration – that grabbed the attention of so many supporters and funders and which lies
behind the flourishing rivers trust movement. Since then, the Trust now has circa 75 employees
with an annual turnover of c£3m running multi-annual projects spread across a wide range of
funders.
The Trust has three main delivery teams and a support services team. Our employees work on
delivery sites, from home and from the office. Following the pandemic we have moved to a hybrid
way of working and it is important that our IT enables and supports this change.
The Role
As project delivery specialist contractors and consultants in the freshwater environment, the
Operations Team undertake and support the in-house delivery of a range of projects delivered
either directly by the team or supported by our trusted sub-contractors. The type of project
outputs, monitoring and interventions we deliver and oversee consist of, but aren’t limited to;
bankside and in-river habitat management such as arboricultural work, wetland creation,
protection and restoration, tree planting and woodland creation, gravel augmentation, natural
flood management (NFM) and other nature based solution (NBS) opportunities, floodplain
restoration and reconnection, weir removals and modifications, electrofishing monitoring,
catchment walkovers, gravel audits, invertebrate monitoring, arboricultural and ecological
surveys, supporting applications to countryside stewardship and the England woodland creation
offer (EWCO), training and development, and specialist work in protected and sensitive sites.
This role will be working in Operations Team which sits within our River and Fisheries Team.
The role holder will report to the Operations Team Manager and works closely with colleagues
across the team and the Trust.
