The overall aim of the ‘Sharks Connect’ project is to engage young people and communities along the Greater Thames Estuary (GTE) with marine conservation to improve management and aid recovery of socially, culturally, and ecologically important shark and ray species in the GTE. Young people will be an integral part of the project, directly leading marine conservation research to reveal new insights into the movements and habitat use of sharks and rays, which are key species for the natural heritage of the GTE.
At the end of the 12 month Development Phase, we will submit a Delivery Phase application for subsequent funding, with the potential for the position to be extended if funding is successfully awarded. This role is made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.
This is a 12 month fixed-term position, working 37.5 hours per week, supporting the development phase of the Sharks Connect the Thames project.
We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience living and/or working in the focus area for this role, Essex and along the Greater Thames Estuary between Thurrock and Clacton.
