Project Co Ordinator Jobs
Nature’s Recovery Officer (Pollinators)
B-Lines are an imaginative and beautiful solution to the problem of the loss of flowers and pollinators. The B-Lines are a series of ‘insect pathways’ running through our countryside and towns, along which we are restoring and creating a series of wildflower-rich habitat stepping stones. They link existing wildlife areas together, creating a network, like a railway, that will weave across the UK.
Avon Wildlife Trust has been working with Buglife (the insect conservation charity) on the B-Lines approach since 2014, enabling us to target work to create continuous swathes of wildlife-rich habitat.
Over the past ten years we have been worked with a wide variety of private landowners and have delivered significant ecological enhancements across the region. This includes the restoration of over 170ha of wildflower-rich grassland and several nature-friendly orchards.
The next phase of B-Lines will focus on the West Mendips, between AWT’s reserves of Folly Farm and Browne’s Folly, with ambitions to scale up and expand this work. As the Nature’s Recovery Officer, you will work with farmers, landowners and communities to grow the network of habitats between these reserves. To ensure climate resilience, you will work on a variety of priority habitats including grasslands, hedgerows, planting in-filed trees and carrying out improvements to woodland edges, all of which are key to the survival of pollinating species.
As the Nature’s Recovery Officer you will:
· Support habitat improvement works on our reserves within the project area.
· Proactively identify sites, providing advice to farmers, landowners and communities, so that they can take action for nature by creating or improving nectar-rich habitats.
· Develop and lead volunteer opportunities, guided by the needs of the landowners and communities you are working with.
· Be supported by the experts at Buglife, who will provide technical advice and training, and ensure that the project is linked to the wider national B-Lines initiative and targeted species recovery where appropriate.

Overall Purpose of Job

The UK’s leading interfaith organisation is looking for a passionate, motivated, and organised individual to join our Education & Learning Team. This role is funded by our generous donors, to help shape our team’s response to the markedly increased need for our work in schools since 7th October. The conflict in the Middle East, alongside many other controversial issues, has led to increased levels of hate incidents and widespread division in schools. Teachers are often shutting down conversations meaning many students aren’t equipped with the social and emotional skills they need to thrive in an increasingly complex and divided modern world.
If you share our vision, of a UK where diversity is celebrated – starting with children’s education in faith, belief, culture and identity – consider applying to join our Education and Learning team.
The F&BF’s Education & Learning team worked with over 6,000 students in 2023 through our Award-Winning skills-based workshops, School Linking and other creative projects. This role is an exciting opportunity to be a trailblazer in innovating and growing our education offer across the West Midlands, including: rebuilding our strong pre-Pandemic presence, and contributing to the team’s approach to monitoring, evaluation and learning so we can continue adapting and fine tuning our offer. Establishing and building on local networks, the Programmes Coordinator will engage key local stakeholders, including schools, with F&BFs highly regarded dialogue and skills-based programming.
This role involves…
- Researching trends in the UK’s education sector, and building processes to analyse trends in enquiries and need for our work, shaping the team’s response to trends especially in relation to the conflict in the Middle East.
- Working independently to build strong and dynamic relationships with schools, other education bodies and faith communities across the West Midlands.
- Building and inspiring our online network of educationalists, sharing stories from our work on the ground, and the impact of our partnership with schools and teachers.
- Designing and delivering programmes which give young people the skills and confidence they need to collaborate with anybody, regardless of their faith, belief, culture, or background.
- Further developing interfaith practice and opportunities in partnership with schools, sixth forms and colleges.
- Recruiting and managing volunteers.
- Connecting and collaborating with the wider F&BF Team.
- Creating innovative and efficient processes for measuring the impact of our vital work.
To do this, you will need to…
- Have excellent communication skills, and be confident interacting with anyone, no matter their background or level of influence.
- Be an effective relationship builder who can confidently build and maintain key partnerships.
- Bring experience of designing and implementing marketing and administrative systems
- Be passionate about working with and empowering young people.
- Have experience of planning and facilitating workshops with people from different backgrounds.
- Be willing to work flexibly with some evening and weekend work.
