Now Hiring: Assistant Ecologist
Full-Time | Hybrid (Office + WFH) | £25,000 – £30,000 (pro rata)

Newcastle

We’re looking for an Assistant Ecologist to join a growing, values-driven consultancy that actually cares.

You’ll plan and deliver surveys (bats, newts, badgers, birds – the whole lot), wrangle subcontractors, and support on Ecological Clerk of Works. You’ll also get hands-on with maps, data, reports, and the occasional wellington boot emergency.

This role is for you if you have:

• Solid consultancy experience (must-have, not nice-to-have)

• Survey experience & protected species knowledge

• CIEEM Grad membership (or working on it)

• A full UK driving licence

• Report writing experience (as in, PEAs and PRAs) is incredibly useful

In return, you’ll get:

• Health insurance & proper training support

• Flexible hours + hybrid working

• Bonus scheme & extra birthday day off

• A chance to shape real, meaningful work (minus the corporate nonsense)
