The Bat Conservation Trust has been running the National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP) since 1996, making it the longest running multi-species monitoring programme for mammals in the UK. The NBMP currently produces statistically robust population trends for 11 of the UK’s 17 breeding bat species. More than 3500 volunteers have taken part in our surveys at over 7200 roost or field sites around the UK.
We are recruiting a part-time (three days per week) Surveys and Training Support Officer to take on some of the key tasks in running the NBMP and providing support to volunteers and trainers. This is a temporary position lasting 20 weeks. The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working with volunteers or customers, experience of using standard Microsoft software packages including Word and Excel, excellent organisational skills and an interest and curiosity about the natural world.
