1. Role Purpose:
To spearhead Manx Wildlife Trust’s (MWT) delivery
of key on-farm elements of the Isle of Man Government’s
Agri-Environment Scheme (AES), working closely and collaboratively with farmers,
agricultural businesses, industry representatives, ecologists and Government officers to
ultimately deliver MWT’s mission to ‘protect and
enhance our environment, create more spaces for wildlife, and inspire people to act for
nature.’ Our proud Manx farming industry is key to delivering nature’s recovery on the
Isle of Man. Farmland covers around 75% of the Manx landscape and therefore represents MWT’s
greatest opportunity for landscape-scale conservation and enhancement.
This role involves a wide range of complex, technical and professional activities in a wide and
often unpredictable range of work situations, for which we are looking for a personable,
pragmatic and ‘down to earth’ individual. This role is predominantly based outdoors, across the
length and breadth of the Island. The remit includes 40,000ha (100,000ac) of
lowland and upland farmland across the Island’s 340 farms. The work of this post varies
considerably throughout the year due to the seasons and agricultural calendar. Reporting to and
working closely with the Head of Conservation & Land (who maintains oversight of our AES
delivery and its continuous improvement) the postholder will have a substantial degree of
personal responsibility and autonomy in their day-to-day work.
2. Role Responsibilities:
2.1 Core Responsibilities: Day to day delivery of our AES contract; including:
2.2 Wider Responsibilities:
3. Working Hours, Salary, Place of Work:
This is a full-time permanent post. The working hours are 37.5 hours a week (standard being 9am
to 5pm, Monday to Friday, with 30 mins for lunch each day), based Island-wide but from MWT’s
Peel headquarters. Including the 10 Manx bank holidays, leave entitlement is an impressive 38
days/yr.
There is a requirement to work some evenings and weekends to attend or run events and/or
meetings. Overtime is not paid; additional hours will be taken as time off in lieu (TOIL).
Flexible home working is acceptable but must be agreed with HC&L. There is an expectation
that at least one day per week is based from our Peel headquarters to enable close working with
colleagues.
The starting salary for this post is £25,730pa to a maximum of £28,600pa based on experience,
results and time served. MWT offer an additional 5% contribution via an organisational pension
scheme. Off-Island candidates should note that the Island
has
very low levels of income tax (standard rate 10%) and very low rates of local government
taxation. Our Island nation is an incredible place to live, reflected by our Biosphere status.
There is a need for frequent travel around the whole Island (including remote and isolated
areas, including in the uplands). A pool-vehicle is available internally on a first-come,
first-served basis, however as this vehicle is shared, the applicant will require their own
vehicle for business work. On occasion you will need to leave the Island to attend conferences
when overnight stays will be required. You will receive 50p/mile for any use of your own
vehicle for MWT work.
