Are you ready to make a real difference? Join one of our teams and help to address serious and complex environmental issues. 

You’ll bring your enthusiasm and organisational skills to the role to provide crucial administrative and technical support, helping our teams achieve their business targets and secure positive outcomes for people, wildlife and the environment.  

Guided by your Team Leader, you'll provide this support with tasks including:  

• Managing information systems, carrying out routine interpretation of data and preparing basic reports.

• Supporting the team to respond to information requests and enquiries from customers. 
• Maintaining and updating our filing systems to ensure information is accessible and accurate. 
• Processing procurement requests for the team, including PPE and environmental incident response equipment.  
• Providing administrative support to team leaders and senior officers as needed, for example taking minutes and recording actions during meetings. 

A flexible approach is essential, and you'll be expected to manage your own time, plan and prioritise your work, and effectively manage the expectations of the teams you support.
