The work of the ecological consultancy team plays a vital role in delivering our vision of a wilder Worcestershire where there is more nature everywhere for everyone.

Our team provides sound and practical advice across a range of ecological services. We are looking for someone to join the team to help the consultancy to further grow and develop in line with the needs of our clients and best ecological practice.

We are looking for someone with experience of business management and ideally some experience of the work of ecological consultancies. To be successful in this role requires strong planning skills, experience of delivering successful projects and effective communication with key internal and external stakeholders.
