We’re looking for a Placement Student with a passion for the environment to join our team for a 12-month period.
Middlemarch is an award-winning natural environment consultancy that has recently embarked on an exciting period of strategic growth. Headquartered in Coventry and with regional teams across the UK, Middlemarch provides nationwide ecological, arboricultural and biodiversity services, as well as supporting clients with innovative landscape design, GIS and nature-based solutions.
Middlemarch has a bold ambition to be the environment consultancy of choice, offering trusted advice that helps to create an enduring natural environment legacy.
Established in 1991, Middlemarch is a wholly owned subsidiary of Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. Collectively, the Wildlife Trusts are the largest voluntary nature and conservation organisation in the UK with over 850,000 members and 35,000 volunteers working to improve nature.
The Role
Middlemarch carries out hundreds of ecological projects each year, ranging from protected species surveys to habitat creation and landscape design.
In your 12-months with us you'd be playing an important role supporting our ecological project teams and carrying out a wide range of tasks, including:
- Analysis of field survey data and completion of desk studies
- Writing and compilation of technical ecological reports for clients
- Helping to keep clients informed of project progress
- Other administrative support to help keep on top of mailboxes and phone lines
In this role you'll have lots of opportunity to also get involved and support some of our work in the field, particularly with Great Crested Newt and Bat surveys.
Requirements
We're a purpose driven business and are looking for passionate, positive, and hard working people to join our team. We are looking for someone with great written and verbal communication skills, an ability to use IT systems, and a desire to join a fast paced and busy company.
Applicants will ideally be studying a degree linked to the environment and that allows an industrial placement year. A full UK driving licence will be a benefit but is not essential.
Middlemarch celebrates diversity and inclusivity and is committed to providing fair and equal access to opportunities for all candidates.
What we offer
As a part of our team you’ll be offered a salary of £21,424 and the potential for performance related rewards, company pension, and the opportunity for training and continued professional development.
Any additional hours worked can be claimed as Time Off In Lieu or paid as overtime.
