Assistant Ecologist

Hours: Full Time (37½ hours per week), plus seasonal evening/morning work
Contract type:
Temporary – until approximately the end of October 2025

Wild Frontier Ecology Ltd is an established consultancy based in North Norfolk. We are a
broad-based CIEEM registered practice, with experience in most areas of professional ecological
consultancy.

We are seeking an Assistant Ecologist to join us on a temporary contract for approximately nine
months. There will be a combination of fieldwork and desk-based elements to the role. The
successful candidate will primarily be involved with a variety of survey work, thermal imager
reviews, acoustic analysis and office tasks; and will obtain significant early-career
consultancy experience. After initial training, you will also be supported to manage some small
projects. During the peak season (May to August), you will be expected to work up to two
evenings or early mornings per week to undertake protected species surveys/reviews. Time off in
lieu can be taken at other times.

Candidates will demonstrate a good academic record as well as a genuine interest in ecology and
natural history. Previous habitat or protected species survey experience is desirable, although
training will be provided. Also of importance will be the ability to work flexibly, as part of
a team, and with excellent personal organisation. This post would suit a recent ecology
graduate looking to gain experience within an established consultancy practice.

A full driving licence will be required so you can attend sites as required for fieldwork.
Having your own transport to and from the office will be necessary due to the rural office
location.

The employment period will be from early 2025 until approximately the end of October 2025. The
role will be based at our office in North Norfolk; with survey work across much of East Anglia.

To apply, please send a full CV along with a covering letter to the Office Manager, Karen
Bingham, via email at [email protected].

Closing date for applications will be midnight on Friday 15th November 2024.
