Senior Conservation Officer - East Midlands
Reference: FEB20211077
Location: Flexible
Salary: £30,817.00 - £34,472.00 Per Annum
Benefits: Pension, Life Assurance, 26 days Annual Leave
We currently have a rare opportunity for a dynamic, driven and self-motivated individual to join our team to help shape the future of biodiversity across the RSPB’s East Midlands area. Leading a team of Conservation Officers and working with partners, the successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing delivery of the RSPB’s conservation goals and objectives within the priority landscapes of the Dark Peak in the Peak District National Park and across the world-famous Sherwood landscape. As part of a wider RSPB team, the successful candidate will play a key role in the RSPB’s activities within the Oxford-Cambridge Arc.
What is the role is about?
Comprising seven separate counties, the East Midlands area stretches from Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire in the south to Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in the north. In addition to seven significant nature reserves, the East Midlands plays host to two Priority Landscapes; one covering the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park and the other stretching across the world-famous Sherwood landscape.
The future of our uplands is at a crossroads, with the need for change gathering profile and pace. Within the Dark Peak priority landscape, the successful candidate will be responsible for advocating the RSPB’s position on upland management for the joint benefit of biodiversity and wider society, with real changes seen as a result.
Surrounding one of the RSPB’s most recently developed nature reserves, the Sherwood priority landscape aims to increase habitat connectivity and quantity at a significant scale, in order that the remaining areas of ancient woodland, wood pasture and associated habitats can once again thrive.
To the south, the RSPB is proactively engaged with developments within the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, where we and our partners are working to ensure government ambitions come at no cost to nature and that nature’s recovery is at the heart of any future developments.
Habitats within the East Midlands are extremely diverse with a diversity of wildlife to match. The upland moors and blanket bogs of the Peak District, the ancient woodlands and pastures of Sherwood and the wetlands of the Trent and Upper Thames all present complex challenges alongside a myriad of opportunities.
Supported by a team of two Conservation Officers and working alongside reserve staff, the successful candidate will be responsible for leading the delivery of conservation activities in our priority landscapes with urgency and conviction. Calling on previous experience, the successful candidate will develop a network of relationships and partnerships to further the RSPB’s aims in these areas.
This is a key leadership role. In addition to managing and leading the team of Conservation Officers, the successful candidate will be a key member of the East Midlands leadership team, working alongside Site Managers to set and develop strategic direction for the East Midlands as a whole.
The role will be key in ongoing efforts to protect nature, with the successful candidate adopting the lead position in the East Midlands team for identifying and assessing engagement with casework activities as they arise.
This is full-time home-based role for the successful candidate. However, you will be expected to attend regular meetings as required. We are flexible where within the East Midlands the candidate wishes to be based.
The East Midlands is a recently formed area within the RSPB England operation and already holds significantly important areas for nature. If you feel you have the skills, knowledge and experience to work with us to make further progress and to take future opportunities to save nature, we would welcome your application.
Essential skills, knowledge & experience:
- Degree level qualification in a relevant subject or ability to show equivalent work experience.
- Sufficient understanding of species and habitats, landscape scale conservation, land use and management, relevant policy and legislation of the region in which this role is based to advise staff on appropriate responses and interventions.
- Knowledge of the wildlife and habitats of the operational area of this role.
- Sufficient knowledge of a range of delivery mechanisms for conservation work relevant to the operational area to advise staff on appropriate responses and interventions.
- Ability to form effective teams (both internal and partnership) and work effectively as a team player.
- Excellent communication skills (verbal, written and presentational) – including an ability to speak confidently and cogently in public to a variety of audiences.
- Confident advocating a position to landowners and managers, local politicians, members and volunteers who have different views.
- Ability to support and develop staff using a variety of management techniques.
- Ability to rapidly analyse significant quantities of information, prioritise and balance a diverse workload often to tight deadlines.
- Competent user of core MS Office programmes.
- Experience of working to survey, protect and/or manage important sites, species or habitats.
- Experience of managing staff or volunteers and setting clear work priorities.

Are you flexible, adaptable and willing to learn?
We're excited to be able to offer you a new opportunity to join our team as Shop Manager for Derby.
We're looking for someone who loves working with people and has the ability to inspire and empower those around them. Our successful candidate will be someone who is friendly and positive in their approach and attitude, with the energy to instil this in others. They will be hardworking and can lead by example, being hands on themselves when necessary but ultimately with the ability to drive productivity through empowering the volunteer team. They will be able to work collaboratively with peers and colleagues, actively engaging with others and building strong working relationships. Whilst an understanding of charity retail would be preferred, we do require someone with a business mind with the ability to make confident commercial decisions using information available to them.
This is a great opportunity for someone who can work with a diverse group of volunteers to create a welcoming space in our shop to attract more volunteers, donors and supporters. We are looking for someone who is driven and motivated to raise as much money as possible to help children build a better future.
As a Shop Manager, we can offer you a challenging but enjoyable and hugely rewarding role. We will provide you with the right training, support and coaching you need in order to successfully motivate a team of volunteers to achieve goals and targets.
Save the Children shops are at the heart of the community, providing a welcoming and positive environment for people to come together to volunteer, donate and shop (see attached Ethos).
Derby is currently in the process of having a total shop floor refit and will become our first ever Outlet shop. We're looking for someone who thrives in a busy fast paced working environment, and who can lead a volunteer team in generating much needed income for Save the Children.
