About the Role
Are you committed to supporting community-powered change to help nature recover? Do you have the skills to support, teach and demonstrate habitat creation, ecological connectivity, and species strategies? Do you enjoy working collaboratively? If so, this could be the job for you. We are seeking a confident, talented ecologist to work on an exciting new Nature Together project in Bristol, led by Bristol City Council. This project is part of the UK-wide Nature Towns and Cities programme.

The Community Ecologist will work with three communities to co-produce projects that support their local climate and nature action plans. The successful candidate will use their experience in habitat creation and share their knowledge of local wildlife species with volunteers in the community, ensuring activities align with local nature strategies. They will also contribute to the wider communication, evaluation, and dissemination activities and aims of the Nature Together Project.

This transformative partnership project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is designed to help reverse the nature and climate emergencies in Bristol, providing a better quality of life for all. Avon Wildlife Trust is a charity dedicated to working with local people for local wildlife, covering the West of England region (former county of Avon). It is supported by more than 17,500 members, manages over 30 nature reserves, and is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK.

The Wildlife Trusts value diversity and are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. Applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures are actively encouraged.
