The River Wye in Herefordshire is one of the longest and most natural rivers in Britain and for a large part forms the border between England and Wales. Increased pressures from agriculture and the water industry, has resulted in a decline in water quality, with particular pressures from phosphate. The River Wye Special Area of Conservation is also failing to meet its targets.

We are working hard to address these issues and require a programme manager to lead and coordinate the delivery of our work across the catchment. With exceptional project management skills, the candidate will be able to coordinate multiple projects, working effectively across different regulatory regimes and business departments, and supporting our leaders with understanding the complex issues in the catchment and working with others to develop a forward programme of work.

Working within one of our Land and Water Teams, you will work closely with Environment Officer’s and other regulatory staff across the River Wye catchment.
You will also be responsible for leading the Wye Virtual Team, which is a catchment group that represents staff across all Water, Land and Biodiversity teams

Occasional travel will be likely.
