Now Hiring: Assistant Ecologist
Full-Time | Hybrid (Office + WFH) | £25,000 - £30,000 (pro rata)

Newcastle

We're looking for an Assistant Ecologist to join a growing, values-driven consultancy that actually cares.

You'll plan and deliver surveys (bats, newts, badgers, birds - the whole lot), wrangle subcontractors, and support on Ecological Clerk of Works. You'll also get hands-on with maps, data, reports, and the occasional wellington boot emergency.

This role is for you if you have:

Solid consultancy experience (must-have, not nice-to-have)

Survey experience & protected species knowledge

CIEEM Grad membership (or working on it)

A full UK driving licence

Report writing experience (as in, PEAs and PRAs) is incredibly useful

In return, you'll get:

Health insurance & proper training support

Flexible hours + hybrid working

Bonus scheme & extra birthday day off

A chance to shape real, meaningful work (minus the corporate nonsense)

Ready to take the next step in your ecology career?
Send your CV to Joe at or call (phone number removed) for a confidential chat.
