Project Delivery Officer – Upper Irthing PRISM Landscape Recovery Project

Project Delivery Officer – Upper Irthing PRISM Landscape Recovery Project
2 Year Fixed Term appointment
Job ref: 349785
Closing Date: 12th May 2024

PRISM is an acronym
for Peatlands, Rivers, Invasives, Species
Recovery and Meadows, which gives some idea of just how wide ranging the
project will be. This breadth has been guided by the key criteria of this round of Landscape
Recovery funding:

• Net Zero (peatland restoration and woodland creation).
• Protected Sites (designated habitats such as SSSI’s, NNR’s and SAC’s – the project area has
  more than 20 designated parcels of land).
• Wildlife rich habitats (riparian corridors, species rich grasslands, transitional habitats;
  Invasive species control and species recovery within these areas).
• Food/timber production (working with project partners to better understand how working land
  can support both thriving habitats and species, and commercial enterprise).

The Delivery Officer will work closely with the Project Team during the initial 2-year funding
development period to develop detailed delivery plans for long term management of the project
area. The successful candidate will report back to the Project manager and the project
partnership (comprised of landowners and other key stakeholders) on their own key areas of
work.
