Job description

Salary bracket: NMW, + enhancements depending on skills and experience, paid monthly
45 hours/wk (includes 1 hour per day of unpaid breaks)
Wrexham, North Wales

Are you highly motivated, physically fit and have high standards of work? Enjoy working in a team but have the ability to work independently? Have a passion for countryside management or a qualification in it? Willing to work outdoors on a foul winters day, and cope with the heat in mid summer? Have a professional approach that will foster the excellent relationship we have with our many long-standing clients? If the answer is yes, then you could have the opportunity to undertake habitat management in some stunning locations and create habitats that will shape our countryside.

ELM is a long standing continually expanding company working in the field of countryside management and wildlife protection. Working independently or as part of a team, you will be carrying out tasks including scrub clearance, pond management, woodland management, access improvements, grassland management and installation of wildlife fencing. Most our work is either on designated sites or dealing with protected species, so you will be expected to maintain accurate records of your work activity. This is a very practical/physical role, not to be mistaken for a junior ecologist role.

We are offering two levels of this role depending on experience and qualifications. The job description and person specs for both levels are available on the website, with a Level 1 salary being NMW and Level 2 being NMW + £1000. Staff also receive an enhancement based on the practical tickets they hold, plus an annual bonus based on company profits.
