We work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse.

As part of the Drive Partnership – Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance – we challenge perpetrators of domestic abuse to change, asking ‘why doesn’t he stop?’ rather than ‘why doesn’t she leave? Together we can end domestic abuse. Forever. For everyone.

The Drive Partnership works with high-harm, high-risk and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse in 10 PCC areas and 21 Local Authorities across England and Wales to prevent their abusive behaviour and protect adult and child victims. And it works. A 3-year study by the University of Bristol shows that the Drive intervention reduces abuse. At the same time as delivering the Drive intervention in specific sites, we are working across the domestic abuse specialist sector, public sector partners and beyond to develop sustainable, national systems change that responds effectively to all perpetrators of domestic abuse.

We are looking for an experienced project manager to join our leadership team in delivering this innovative multi-strand programme of work. You will have strong financial, project management and relationship management skills. You will be comfortable with fast-moving, hands-on work environments. You can chart a path through ambiguity and adapt to changing circumstances. You are highly driven and will roll up your sleeves and “muck in” regularly – in the true spirit of an entrepreneurial environment.

The role of Head of Drive Project Management Office is to work with the Drive Director and the Drive Heads of Operations and Development to ensure that all aspects of the project are executed and delivered effectively. The postholder will co-ordinate reporting to a range of national stakeholders and project manage the ongoing development of the Drive Model.

Benefits include a generous package including 25 days’ holiday per year plus public holidays, employee pension scheme with 4% employer contribution, Cycle2Work scheme, 365 days a year Employee Assistance Programme, flexible working

Senior Project Manager (Species Recovery)
Ref: SPM(Species Rec)2021/CN
Location: WWT Slimbridge
Hours: 37.5 hours a week – Monday to Friday
Salary: £36,496 per annum

Wetlands and the wildlife they support are a vital part of the UK’s landscapes. However the benefits that they provide to our daily lives are consistently overlooked and undervalued. We need to dramatically shift the way that we treat and manage our wetlands and the species that call them home.

WWT is on a mission to do this, and we are recruiting a Senior Project Manager to lead projects that focus on restoring populations of keystone, flagship and umbrella wetland species. Our vision is that the recovery of these species, in the landscapes around our centres and in the wider UK countryside, will help catalyse the wider creation, restoration and better management of wetlands.

Role Outline

This role will manage several high-profile multi-stakeholder wetland species recovery projects. Immediate priorities will be to ensure successful delivery of major species recovery projects for Eurasian Curlew and Black-tailed Godwit. The role will also be central to the development and delivery of exciting new projects in this area, focussed on keystone, umbrella or flagship species and moving beyond just birds. The role will work extensively with external partners but also closely with WWT colleagues to align species recovery projects with other priorities – namely the wetland landscapes around our wetland centres (our ‘Waterscapes’) and the delivery of key wetland benefits such as flood storage and carbon sequestration.

About You

You will be passionate about wetlands and their wildlife, care deeply about the success and impact of your work. You’ll stand up for what you believe in and have creative ideas for how to fund and deliver sustainable conservation work. We’re looking for someone who values a professional approach to managing projects and can communicate, and advocate for, their work to wide range of stakeholders. You must have experience delivering a wide range of species conservation projects involving species recovery and close-order management.

If this sounds like you, then our precious wetland wildlife needs you. Come and join our dedicated and dynamic UK Programmes team delivering our vision of a world where healthy wetland nature thrives and enriches lives.

The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is a conservation charity that protects wetlands for wildlife and people. We conserve, restore and create wetlands. We are pioneers in saving wetland wildlife, both in the UK and around the world. At our 10 UK sites around a million visitors a year engage with wetland nature. We work internationally in key global wetland areas, balancing conservation with sustainable livelihoods and influencing national and international conservation policies.

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 30 days after 5 years’
• Contributory pension scheme (conditions apply)
• Life assurance
• Free car parking and secure bike storage areas
• Cycle to work scheme
• Free entry to all our centres
