Morridge Hill Country Biodiversity Interventions Officer

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust are recruiting for a:

Morridge Hill Country Biodiversity Interventions Officer 

About the role

Looking for the chance to have an important role in nature’s recovery in one of England’s most
distinctive and dramatic landscapes? We have been successful in an application to DEFRA’s
Landscape Recovery Round 2. The two-year development phase project will be led by the Peak
District National Park Authority and supported by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. We are now
recruiting for a Biodiversity Improvement Officer to develop Morridge Hill Country (MHC). 

MHC is an area of upland and associated foothills in the south-west part of the Peak District
National Park. The ambition of MHC is to provide hope and inspiration for enhancing
biodiversity in one of the worlds most visited national parks – The Peak District, by working
with 15 private and public landowners across 3500ha to create a ‘bigger, better, and more
connected natural landscape’.

To help develop this project across a two-year development phase, the Biodiversity
Interventions Officer is a key project position responsible for producing a consulted and
agreed plan of environmental enhancement works to improve biodiversity and connectivity across
the project area. The work will be delivered as part of a future delivery project.

We’re Wild About Inclusion! To us, this means inspiring, empowering and
engaging people from all backgrounds, cultures, identities and abilities, to change the natural
world for the better. It means creating workspaces where difference is celebrated, everyone can
be themselves and flourish, just like nature
