It’s an exciting time to be involved in planning England’s water resources. Our water supply is under continuing pressure. Drought and dry weather have spread across England after the driest start to year for England since 1976. We have also recently published our National Framework for Water Resources to ensure our future water supply is secure. In this post you will be crucial to its success.

First released in March 2020, the framework broke ground in planning for the nation’s water resources to be more resilient to climate change, droughts, and population growth alongside a new approach to enhancing the environment. The 2025 framework builds significantly on these achievements, reflecting the growing urgency of water resource challenges, to propel integrated, multi-sector planning at national, regional, and local levels.

The post holder will be responsible for supporting activities to deliver and implement the National Framework for Water Resources. This will involve working closely with team members and external stakeholders to keep work moving forwards on a range of water resources topics.

You will join the Water Resources Resilience team, which leads the National Framework for Water Resources and works across water using sectors to improve resilience.

We’re part of the Environment and Business (E&B) Directorate. We inform and deliver the government's key environmental objectives; using evidence, expertise, engagement, and innovation we influence policy and legislation, facilitate, and enhance integrated delivery and, by building trust in the Environment Agency, secure resources to do more for the environment.

You’ll have an inclusive incident management objective in your development plan. We’ll help you find a role to suit your needs. Appropriate training will be given.
