We’re not corporate, but we are professional, values-led, and serious about doing good ecological work properly. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and genuinely influence how the business operates and grows. The Role We’re seeking a competent, delivery-focused Consultant Ecologist who can work confidently on their own projects while being fully supported as part of a small, collaborative team. You’ll have real responsibility and autonomy, alongside clear line management, mentoring and technical support where needed. Key Responsibilities Deliver PEAs, PRAs and baseline BNG assessments (including habitat and condition assessments). Undertake protected species surveys where competent, including bat surveys. Analyse bat survey data and contribute to bat-related reporting. Produce clear, well-reasoned ecological reports suitable for planning. Manage your own projects, including survey planning, delivery and deadlines. Provide pragmatic ecological advice to clients and contribute to ongoing project work. Essential Experience Demonstrable experience delivering ecological consultancy projects independently. Proven competence in PEAs, PRAs and ecological reporting. Confidence in BNG assessments, including habitat and condition assessment, and QGIS mapping. Strong written communication and report-writing skills. Full UK driving licence. Highly Desirable Bat Level 1 survey licence (strongly preferred). Strong botanical skills. Experience analysing bat data and supporting protected species work. Project management experience within consultancy. Important – Please Read This role is not suitable for graduates or entry-level ecologists. Applicants must already be competent in core consultancy tasks such as survey delivery, reporting and baseline assessments. However, you will not be expected to operate in isolation — the role includes clear line management, regular support and mentoring, particularly on complex projects and professional development. Location & Working Pattern Primarily home-based. Some in-office working in Taunton and regular site work across Somerset and the wider South West. Flexible working hours within agreed boundaries. What We Offer Salary of £28,000–£34,000 depending on experience. 35-hour working week. 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with an additional paid Christmas shutdown. Flexible working and clear boundaries around out-of-hours work. Autonomy and trust, balanced with strong line management and support. Opportunity to help shape a growing consultancy and influence how we work. Professional development and support for licence progression.
