Overview

Do you have a passion for wildlife? Do you want to help protect one of the UK’s most unique places for nature? We are currently looking for an energetic, dynamic and experienced manager to lead the RSPB’s Dungeness and Lydden Valley team to continue delivering for people and wildlife.

Dungeness is the RSPB’s oldest reserve and boasts a wealth of wildlife, from scarce breeding birds to rare bumblebees. The reserve is home to a broad range of habitats from wet grassland, reedbed and artificial pits through to the unique habitats associated with the vast areas of internationally important shingle. Dungeness is also one of the RSPB’s key visitor destinations in South East England.

In contrast, Lydden Valley is a new reserve still in development, which when complete will boast expansive wetland habitats and will form a significant wildlife hotspot in east Kent. This project is entering an exciting phase, when designs and models will be transformed into wetland habitats.
