Citizen Science Lead - 36290

Are you passionate about collaboration, building relationships, and finding innovative ways to improve environmental outcomes? We’re looking for a Citizen Science Lead with freshwater ecological experience to lead and directly engage with our citizen science partnerships. You'll work with colleagues to identify where citizen science can help fill evidence and monitoring gaps, strengthening the data that informs our decisions and environmental delivery.

You will bring people together, spotting opportunities where community-led monitoring can add real value and help us achieve better outcomes. You will develop and maintain strong partnerships with environmental groups, charities, volunteers, and other organisations to ensure citizen science activities generate reliable, high-quality evidence. As the area's key contact for citizen science, you will connect stakeholders with support, respond to enquiries, and champion opportunities for collaboration.
