Are you passionate about working with people to make a positive difference for the future of our coastal environment? An exciting new opportunity has become available for an enthusiastic Severn Estuary Partnership Coastal Officer to join the Severn Estuary Partnership (SEP) team.
SEP is a vibrant Coastal Partnership based in Cardiff (hosted by the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Cardiff University) that works with all those involved in the management of the Severn Estuary from local authorities to port authorities, fishermen to farmers and importantly, local communities.
Applications are invited for a SEP Coastal Officer who will play a key role contributing to the successful delivery of the work of the Severn Estuary Coastal Group and the Wales Coastal Group Forum, working with stakeholders (at regional and national level) to advocate for improved flood and coastal risk management policy, raise awareness of coastal processes, plan for change and manage some specific coastal projects related with the delivery of Shoreline Management Plans.
The successful candidate will have experience of partnership working, engaging and managing stakeholders and great influencing and negotiation skills to help steer delivery of regional and pan-Wales activities, as well as the ability to develop good coastal community relations. You will have the aptitude to think strategically, while keeping on top of the detail. Excellent written and verbal communication skills will be needed, and brilliant inter-personal skills will enable you to work with people from different specialisms across different channels and situations.
