You will also provide expertise in fish identification, health, and fishery recovery. Severn Trent fosters a caring culture focused on collaboration, growth, and development, with high employee engagement scores and a commitment to flexible working.

You are collaborative, motivated, and ready to engage fully with the team and community. Flexibility to work in the field and from home as required, with a proactive approach to learning and development.

Qualifications
Ideally hold a degree in Biology, Environmental Science, Ecology, or a related field. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and value individuality as a strength that enriches our team and community impact.
