Boyne Rivers Trust (BRT) is an environmental charity to the conservation and protection of the Boyne River catchment. The vision of the Trust is for a ​‘Thriving River Catchment, valued and protected by its communities’. The aim of the trust is to protect, enhance and restore the water bodies of the Boyne catchment through community-led projects and activities. Job Summary The Farm Advisor will work with farmers, across the Boyne catchment, to identify potential changes in agricultural and land management practices, intended to bring about improved water quality and freshwater habitats at a catchment-scale, whilst also benefiting farm businesses. The post-holder will undertake one-to-one farm visits, working with landowners to identify ways to reduce the risk and impact of diffuse and point-source water pollution from agriculture. This will be done through non-regulatory farmyard and field assessments to identify possible water protection measures and the production of bespoke farm water management plans. The Farm Advisor will also aim to raise awareness, improve understanding and acceptance amongst farmers and land managers of diffuse and point-source pollution from agriculture and its impact on water quality and the wider water environment. Engagement with farmers in the Boyne catchment will seek to create, through a voluntary approach, a sense of ownership and achievement within the farming community in relation to improving water quality and water dependent species and habitats in the catchments across the Boyne Rivers Trust’s operational area. This is an opportunity to be at the heart of a small, growing, and enthusiastic team. This new role is essential to the growth and development of the Trust to make a real difference to the biodiversity, habitats and ecosystems of the Boyne Catchment.

Living Tees Project VisionThe vision of this project is to create a vibrant, connected River Tees corridor along which communities are inspired to improve, explore, care for, and celebrate their river. Through improved access, inclusive engagement, and shared learning, the project will enhance local wellbeing, deepen understanding of the natural environment, and foster lasting stewardship of the Tees landscapeWorking closely with the Your Tees Catchment Partnership (YTCP), the Tees Rivers Trust (host for this position) and many additional stakeholders, your role will be to lead, inspire and develop a coherent narrative for a catchment-based Living Tees Project. OverviewThe YTCP have an opportunity to develop a meaningful blue and green corridor project within the Tees catchment, using the river (and key tributaries) as well as the Teesdale Way as linear reference points through which to develop opportunities for change, across a number of themes. This 18-month position has been made possible through the Northumbrian Water Bluespaces ​“Feasibility Project for Water Environment Improvements” grant, being awarded to the YTCP.This funding being awarded to the YTCP will provide a unique opportunity to further consolidate, refine and consult with stakeholders as ideas and proposals become more grounded within a clearer and robust project narrative.This is a ground-breaking opportunity to facilitate a project of lasting significance for the River Tees and those who walk and access it through many and varied leisure activities, visit and holiday within the catchment or work and live within its many communities and tributaries.The entire project sits under the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) framework.This initial and early development and feasibility phase allows for the YTCP to focus time and resource in developing key themes through a more well-defined and robust project narrative. Much has already been achieved in developing ideas and concepts and there is an appetite within the YTCP for this project to gain traction and support local change. The role will work across this wide and varied stakeholder base and riverine landscape in supporting a concept to become a well-rounded and inspired narrative with support from many levels. Within this period, it is intended to apply for the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), both an Expression of Interest after around 6 months and a Development Phase Application a year later.Please see the attached job description for more information the role, responsibilities, and requirements, and visit the Tees Rivers Trust website to learn more about the organisation. ApplyUsing the skills and experience expectations in the job description (attached below), please send a 2‑sided covering letter sharing what you might bring to this role.
