Senior Field Officer

Organisational Overview 

Beaver Trust is a nature restoration charity, restoring beavers to regenerate our
landscapes. Beavers were once a common and influential part of the British countryside, and as
such we want to reconnect people to this part of our heritage. As we continue to reintroduce
beavers and support their expansion across Britain, it has never been more important to help
people learn to coexist with this dynamic and impactful species.

Through our work we have a huge opportunity to engage people with this charismatic
animal, in many different ways and across different subjects. These subjects range from
beavers’ impacts on habitats, wildlife and the climate crisis, to land management, the changing
water cycle and even our own relationship with nature. 

Summary Job Description 

We are looking to hire a highly knowledgeable and engaging Senior Field Officer to join
our busy team at Beaver Trust, to lead on beaver advisory and mitigation programmes focused in
