This is a new role at Don Catchment Rivers Trust, and an exciting opportunity to help the Trust realise it’s ambition of becoming more data led and improving how we use data and evidence to inform our projects and priorities.
We are looking for someone that can help us set up systems and processes for data gathering across our staff and citizen science volunteer teams and pull together existing river related data sets to create a good understanding of the health of our rivers. This understanding of the catchment will help inform priority locations and themes for projects and action.
We want the Trust’s collective knowledge to help communicate our mission to the wider public. Our new Data & Evidence Officer will create visually appealing and accessible ways of communicating data and help across the staff team to produce mapping and evidence for inclusion in reports, papers and funding applications.
As well as someone who doesn’t mind a majority of desk-based work, we want our new Data Officer to get to know the catchment by helping to conduct walk over surveys to ground truth data.
This role will be the Trust lead in working with the wider ‘data community’ including the Local Nature Recovery Strategy for South Yorkshire, the Don, Dearne and Rother Network, and the Central Rivers Trust Community of Practice.
