Species Monitoring Network Development Officer
Amphibian & Reptile Conservation
Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC) is a national wildlife charity dedicated to the conservation of our native amphibians and reptiles.
An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, team-focused, self-starter to join our Species Programmes Team in the role of Species Monitoring Network Development Officer, 3 days per week (22.5 hours), based at our office in Bournemouth.
The person appointed will work to increase ARC’s capacity to recruit, train and support a diverse community of volunteers and partners to take part in the National Amphibian and Reptile Monitoring Programme in Dorset. The post will involve developing training resources, designing new volunteering opportunities, organising workshops and close collaboration with colleagues across ARC, partner organisations and volunteers.
A full, clean driving licence is required and ideally the successful candidate will begin in February 2026.
About Amphibian and Reptile Conservation
The Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC) was established in June 2009, making its debut at the Hampton Court Flower Show with its Bronze Medal winning ‘Dragon’s Garden’. ARC was created around the core of the Herpetological Conservation Trust (HCT), in response to the wider needs of herpetofauna conservation, providing the UK focus for all aspects of reptile and amphibian conservation. Thus, ARC looks more broadly than the traditional focus on nature reserve management and rare species action plans and advocacy that had been the main reason for HCT’s formation in 1989.
