Title: Project Manager, Wildcat Action

Status: full time, fixed term to 31 March 2020

Salary: £28,101 - £32,222

Location: Scottish Natural Heritage, Inverness

Closing date: Midnight on Monday 2 February 2015

Wildcat Action is a five year project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which will deliver some of the key actions within the Scottish Wildcat Conservation Action Plan (SWCAP).

Scottish Natural Heritage is the lead partner in the project, working alongside the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Sciences (University of Edinburgh), the Scottish Gamekeepers Association, the National Trust for Scotland, National Museums Scotland, the Cairngorms National Park Authority and the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Other financial contributions to the project are being made by Highland Council, Forestry Commission Scotland, MSD Animal Health and Chester Zoo.

Wildcat Action will work in six priority wildcat areas to halt the decline of Scottish wildcats by reducing the threats that are currently limiting the population – hybridisation and disease transmission from feral and domestic cats, accidental persecution and impacts from development.

The Project Manager will be based at SNH in Inverness and will have overall responsibility for the delivery of the Wildcat Action project, including reporting to and liaising with funders and line managing the three Wildcat Action Project Officers and the Communications Coordinator. The Project Manager will also work in parallel with the managers of other SWCAP projects to ensure effective delivery of the action plan overall.
