You will be the lead Ecologist for Oxford City Council, working in the Environmental Quality team, part of Environmental Sustainability.

Your primary responsibility will be to review and provide advice on ecological work undertaken in support of planning applications and consented developments within the city boundaries.

A key element of this work will be ensuring planning applications comply with legislative biodiversity net gain requirements and providing advice internally on how to effectively secure and monitor biodiversity gains delivered through development.

You will be responsible for coaching and contributing to the professional development of junior officers within the team, as well as providing oversight of their work.

You will also be the technical lead on the production of a Biodiversity Strategy for Oxford, with a view to helping to protect and enhance the city’s fauna, flora, and ecological networks. This Strategy will play an important role in meeting the Council’s enhanced biodiversity duty under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006.
