All our profits are reinvested back into the charitable work of our parent company, creating a better future for wildlife, people and the green spaces of Sheffield, Rotherham, and beyond.

• Land Management – pond and wetland creation, site maintenance, tree planting, soft landscaping, heather moorland restoration, habitat maintenance and creation

The successful candidate will have at least five years’ experience delivering ecology services for a variety of clients in public, private and third sectors

The successful candidate will have a good level of knowledge and skill in general ecological assessment (i.e. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, including Phase 1 Habitat and UKHab, and Ecological Impact Assessment) and will specialise in one or two protected species, specifically including bats.

The successful candidate will support the Wildscapes Ecology Manager and the broader team in ensuring that Wildscapes CIC is an innovative social enterprise with an excellent reputation, delivering for people, wildlife, the natural environment, and Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust.
