Description
Driven by government’s aim for clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas, MMO’s purpose is to protect and enhance our precious marine environment, and support UK economic growth by enabling sustainable marine activities and development. We are the independent regulator for England’s seas, professionally delivering service-focussed outcomes for our customers through our team of 400 colleagues located across the UK.
 
Working as an accountable, innovative, inclusive and engaging organisation, our values guide us as we seek to deliver sustainability, protect marine habitats and administer support to critical parts of UK industry. This is a really exciting time to join the MMO as the UK is now an independent coastal state, embedding new repatriated functions and services with an increased focus on the protection and enhancing of the marine environment.

The MMO is committed to being a great place to work.

We are focussed on employee engagement and respect; shared values; personal wellbeing; individual and collective diversity, professional and personal development. We value and welcome diversity and are committed to being an equal opportunities employer.

The MMO is a flexible employer and although we do not offer home working contracts, many of our colleagues currently work in a hybrid manner, allowing them to achieve a work-life balance and the autonomy about how and where they work.

The MMO offers a very generous benefits package. Full details can be found later in this pack.

These roles are based across the Fisheries Management Team, Fisheries Transition Team and the Marine Conservation Team, within the Operations Directorate. These teams work closely and flexibly, in a positive, engaging and rewarding environment on high profile projects.

The roles can be based in any Defra office across England, subject to capacity.

Would you like to be part of a team helping to shape and deliver new and ambitious approaches to fisheries and conservation management?

We are seeking suitably qualified candidates for five exciting roles to work across three high-performing and dynamic MMO teams.

• 3 x Principal Fisheries Managers – to work in the Fisheries Management Team/Fisheries Transition Team
• 2 x Principal Marine Conservation Manager – to work in the Marine Conservation Team

These roles will be central to delivering critical aspects of the Government’s ambitions for sustainable fisheries and recovery and enhancement of our marine environment.

The roles will work in several high-profile and important areas including:

• Developing some of the UK’s first Fisheries Management Plans
• Protecting our Marine Protected Areas from the impacts of human activities, principally fishing and marine recreational activities
• Leading and coordinating the English Regional Fisheries Groups
• Leading specific projects central to UK fisheries reform and our transition from EU fisheries management
• Management of fishing effort
• Responding to marine pollution incidents
