Overview

Saving Devon’s Treescapes is a 5 year project aiming to plant and nurture 250,000 trees outside of woodlands across Devon in response to Ash Dieback.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised person to support the successful delivery of the Saving Devon’s Treescapes citizen science community engagement programme.

You will have experience in a range of ecological survey techniques as well as delivering environment related community projects that engage a range of audiences. The postholder will work with our project partners and be in regular contact with DBRC to ensure best practice is always followed.

Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) is Devon’s leading wildlife conservation charity, with over 40,000 members, 2,000 volunteers, 100 staff and 60 nature reserves. We are one of the larger locally based organisations that collectively make up The Wildlife Trusts. DWT has pioneered the reintroduction of beavers in England and the restoration of internationally rare habitats like Culm Grassland.

In return for your hard work and dedication you’ll enjoy a wide range of benefits including:

  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing to 28 days after 5 years’ service)
  • Agile working arrangements including home and Cricklepit Mill office
  • Contributory pension scheme (conditions apply)
  • Death in Service cover
  • Training and development opportunities

This is a part time, permanent post (with funding agreed until the end of December 2025) contractually based at Cricklepit Mill. The project is being delivered Devon wide and you will need to be comfortable with regular travel and have access to your own vehicle.

Interviews are being held on Thursday 9 December.

We welcome candidates of all backgrounds and abilities who meet the essential criteria for this role. We are an inclusive organisation that is seeking to involve more diverse audiences in our work.

DWT is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment.
