Job Description

Help Shape the Future of Beaver Recovery Across the Humber Catchment

Full time

Fixed term to March 2029

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Project Co-ordinator to lead the delivery of the ambitious Species Recovery Programme-funded project, 'Preparing for Beavers Across the Humber Catchment.'

This exciting role sits at the heart of one of the UK's most significant nature recovery initiatives. Working with a diverse partnership of Wildlife Trusts, environmental organisations, statutory agencies, landowners, water companies and local authorities, you will coordinate efforts to enable the successful reintroduction and long-term coexistence of wild beavers across the Humber River Basin.

As the Humber Beaver Partnership (HBP) Co-ordinator, you will oversee the day-to-day delivery of this high-profile project, ensuring partners work effectively together to achieve shared goals for beaver reintroduction and coexistence.

You will provide project leadership and coordination across a broad partnership, managing project delivery, reporting, stakeholder engagement, and the development of the necessary mechanisms and frameworks to support a long term successful wild beaver population across the Humber River Basin that will benefit both people and other wildlife.

The role combines project management, partnership development, staff supervision, ecological understanding and stakeholder engagement, offering a unique opportunity to influence conservation outcomes at a landscape scale.

We're looking for a motivated conservation professional who can bring people together, manage complex projects, and inspire others to achieve shared outcomes.

If you are an experienced conservation professional with excellent project management skills, a collaborative approach, and a passion for species recovery, we'd love to hear from you.

This post is subject to a Basic DBS Check. You will be required to travel across the Humber Catchment Region so a driving licence is essential. We are planning to hold interviews on the 5thOctober 2026.
