Volunteer Breeding Bird Survey Coordinator

Would you like to use existing project management skills, or would you like learn how to manage a multi layered project?

We’re looking for an individual that is an organised coordinator, who’s great at communicating and has an eye for detail that can help us to coordinate our breeding bird surveys.

This is an exciting opportunity and one that’s invaluable to the Trust, which will coordinate a monitoring project that is making a real difference to Yorkshire’s wildlife.

Each year, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust carries out breeding bird surveys on many of its nature reserves. The information is gathered by a team of volunteer surveyors and the results are used to inform our reserve management plans and is also passed to the local records centres.

We’re looking for an individual that is an organised coordinator, who’s great at communicating and has an eye for detail that can coordinate the team of surveyors, deal with associated admin of the project and help to deliver an event once a year.

You will be communicating with our Wildlife Evidence and Advice Volunteer and survey volunteers to ensure breeding bird surveys are carried out each season. The main elements of the role will involve contacting new and existing surveyors to organise when and where they will be surveying in the coming season. In addition, we’d like you to help organise the annual get-together we hold, where volunteer surveyors can swap tales, highlights of the previous season and the Trust can provide feedback following their analysis of our collective results.
