RSPB recruiting now for assistant warden at its showcase Rainham Marshes reserve near London

                                                            

Opportunity beckons for job at charity's Rainham Marshes reserve

JUST weeks after it revealed a  shake-out of staff and amenities at its showcase Rainham Marshes reserve, the RSPB is recruiting for an assistant warden on a 12-month contract.

Says the job description: "Are you passionate about nature conservation? 

"As assistant warden you will be at the forefront of our conservation efforts, participating in a variety of practical activities that drive positive change.

"As part of the  team,  you will develop your skills in identifying species, conducting ecological survey, and understanding how all these aspects relate to the reserve management plan and wider vision for the site.

"Roll up your sleeves and carry out habitat management tasks such as trail and infrastructure maintenance, reedbed cutting and clearance of rank vegetation.

"Take charge of organising and leading reserve work parties where you will motivate and inspire participants from all backgrounds actively to contribute to conservation efforts." 

The post also carries a requirement to carry out predator control, apply pesticides and knowledge of  servicing and maintaining vehicles, machinery, tools and equipment to agreed standards.

Health and safety records and assessments will also have to be updated.

However, there will be no call to work in the cafe or visitor centre because these both closed at the start of this month.

The salary is perhaps not the most generous - £26,379 - £28,319 per annum.
