A PART-TIME warden is being sought by the RSPB for three of its Tayside reserves in Scotland.
They are those at Loch Leven, Loch of Kinnordy and Tay Reedbed.
Says the society: "This is a permanent role for 15 hours per week.
"It offers a varied, practical and rewarding working environment.
"The successful candidate will contribute to habitat management, species monitoring and visitor experience across all three sites, working alongside colleagues and volunteers."
The job description provides more information as follows:
* At Loch Leven, you will be part of a team managing a range of habitats with a focus on wet grassland. The site supports an ever-changing range of wildlife, from breeding waders and wildfowl in spring and summer to flocks of migratory geese and swans in autumn, with Red Squirrels year-round.
* At Loch of Kinnordy, you will help to deliver management in and around the wetland, including the open water, reedbed and fen. This site is rich with wildlife including Ospreys, Otters, Beavers, Red Squirrels and a range of waders and wildfowl.
* At the Tay Reedbeds, you will work within the UK’s largest continuous reedbed, an internationally important habitat along the River Tay. Here, species such as Bearded Tits, Marsh Harriers and Water Rails depend on rotational reedbed management.
The position is based at Loch Leven, and the salary is the pro-rata equivalent of £30,977.00 - £39,359.00 per annum
The closing date for applications is Sunday September 27, with interviews proposed for October 6.
