We are looking for an enthusiastic and energetic aviculturalist to join the Project Godwit team at WWT Welney Wetland Centre to assist in the implementation of a headstarting programme for black-tailed godwits. Project Godwit is a five-year EU Life funded project that is aiming to secure the future of breeding black-tailed godwits in the UK through habitat management, research, supplementing the population through headstarting, and engaging local communities. Headstarting refers to the bringing of wild laid eggs in to captivity where they can be hatched and raised in relative safety and later released back in to the wild, in order to boost population numbers. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to develop a career in animal management and/or species conservation. Project
