Healthy rivers are essential for people and nature, but they are on the brink of collapse, under threat from pollution, climate change, habitat loss and water scarcity. Tackling these issues requires holistic understanding and effective partnership working.
We are seeking two Catchment Managers, ideally with a scientific or technical expertise, to lead our Catchment Partnership work in South East England. You will lead, chair and manage one or two Catchment Partnerships (depending on their size). You will also support a small but growing team of Catchment Officers who lead their own Catchment Partnerships. You will be able to focus your work in part of our operating area that covers Surrey, East Sussex, South London and Kent.
You will use data and evidence including local knowledge to lead the Catchment Partnership in understanding the issues in the catchments. You will work with partners to co-design solutions and projects that will provide multiple benefits and make a real difference to the state of rivers and catchments.
You will ideally bring a level of scientific and/or technical expertise, for example in land management, wetland design, aquatic biodiversity, habitat enhancement, nature-based solutions, biodiversity net gain, natural flood management, fisheries science, water resources, water quality. You will bring this expertise to our Catchment Partnerships and share it across the whole organisation.
The role will suit a natural leader and good communicator with relevant technical knowledge who is personable and diplomatic with a passion for the water environment.
