I need assistants to help with dusk and dawn surveys in Manchester and surrounding areas from May to September/October inclusive. There is no closing date but please apply as soon as possible. Freelance ecologists, and enthusiastic volunteers may apply. Pay is dependent on experience/ability. Volunteers receive travelling expenses. This is casual work you can fit-in when you're available, perhaps one to three times a week, possibly including weekends. Dawn availability is particularly useful. With almost 30 years' experience of working with bats, I offer a learning opportunity for anyone venturing into bat consultancy or conservation work. Punctuality, reliability, good concentration skills and professional approach are  vital. Existing experience of watching bats in flight
