The Lleyn peninsula (Pen Llŷn) and Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) has many special habitats, including wet grassland, lowland heath, soft cliffs, sand dunes and fens, but some of their most important species, such as curlew, chough, spotted rockrose and large mason bee, are declining and at risk of extinction.

Natur am Byth unites nine environmental charities and Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to deliver the country’s largest natural heritage and people engagement programme to save species from extinction and connect people to nature.

We are looking for a hard-working wildlife conservationist with an interest in natural history to support a programme of practical conservation management, ecological monitoring and people engagement activities. You will be involved in engaging with landowners and managers, the RSPB Reserve and Conservation team, partner organisations and local communities across this landscape to empower more people to take action for nature on their doorstep.

You will play a key role in implementing conservation interventions and monitoring their success through ecological surveys. Planned conservation actions for the target species include:

• creation and protection of curlew nesting and foraging habitat;
• ditch and pond maintenance for Baltic and dwarf stonewort, clubbed general soldier fly, Limnephilus tauricus caddisfly, shore dock and water vole;
• restoration of coastal grassland and heath for chough, Cladonia peziziformis lichen, large mason bee and spotted rock-rose;
• sand dune management for dwarf rush;
• scrub clearance for black night-runner ground beetle, Desmoulin's whorl snail and six-spotted crane fly;
• translocation of Geyer's whorl snail and juniper.
