Coastal Project Officer Sunderland, North East England, England
Job description
Sunderland’s coastline is internationally recognised as an important area for the birds and habitats it supports, which is reflected by inclusion of much of the coastline in the Northumbria Coast SPA and Durham Coast SAC. Increases in recreational pressure associated with residential development across the local authority area have the potential to impact upon these important features, and in response Sunderland City Council operates strategic project known as the Coast Project to mitigate these effects.
Together with the current Coast Project Officer, you will be a key point of contact with local communities and visitors to the coast, helping to educate and encourage a responsible use of these areas that minimises impacts to the special birds and habitats found here. You will also facilitate delivery of the strategic measures in the Sunderland Recreation Mitigation Strategy, including undertaking and arranging surveys, running public engagement events, and inputting into the management of coastal habitats and other recreation areas.
The successful candidate will be comfortable engaging with the public and will have a knowledge and understanding of key nature conservation issues.
This post is exempt from the rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore will be subject to a DBS check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
