| Oystercatchers - Norfolk population in peril, says RSPB |
A SIX-month post as a 'Plovers-in-Peril' officer is up for grabs in Norfolk.
According to the job description issued by the RSPB, the aim is to reverse the decline in two particular species - ringed plover and oystercatcher.
The position, which is based at the RSPB's Titchwell Marsh reserve, carries an equivalent salary of £21,255 - £22,818 per annum.
Says the conservation charity: "Plovers in Peril was launched in 2021, in partnership with Wild Ken Hill, to establish monitoring and species protection measures for beach-nesting birds.
"With funding from the local borough council, we are now approaching our fourth season where we hope to continue to grow our volunteer team, empower local communities, develop innovative opportunities for collaborative working and generate a bigger voice for beach-nesting birds in North-west Norfolk.
"Your work will help more than just birds - you will be working on a project that seeks to cultivate positive change for all the special wildlife inhabiting this important coastal habitat.
"Our vision is to create a place where wildlife and people thrive.
"As the seasonal field officer, you will support all aspects of on-the-ground delivery throughout the busy breeding season (March-August) in line with project objectives.
"You will be based at RSPB Titchwell Marsh but will work predominantly at the project site - a 4km stretch of shingle beach between Snettisham and Heacham on the edge of The Wash."
Expiry date for applications: Sunday, 7 January, 2024.
Adds the RSPB: "We are looking to conduct interviews for this position from 16 January 2024."
