Position Vacant – Support Staff Member

Posted on 16 June, 2015 by Connecting Country

Our major project, Connecting Landscapes Across the Mount Alexander Region, ultimately aims to help enhance, protect and extend areas of native vegetation in the Mount Alexander Region that will create habitat linkages. This five year project, which commenced in mid-2013, has already made great gains towards this goal. More than 40 landholders have partaken in on-ground works projects on their properties resulting in improvements to more than 750 ha of woodland and forest.

Connecting Country is seeking a capable ready-to-go person to assist Jarrod and the rest of the team with the implementation of this project. This Project Support Officer role would commence as a 2-3 day per week fixed term position (for six months, with the possibility of an extension). Desirable skills and experience in the successful applicant are project management, an understanding of natural environments and their management, and the ability to work both as part of a team and on your own. A full position description can be downloaded (click here).

To express your interest in this role, please send your CV and also a cover letter (no more than 2 pages) which describes why you think you’d the right person for this position, when you would be able to commence, and your availability to work in the role for either 2 or 3 days per week.

Applications close at 5pm on Monday 29 June 2015. Email applications to jarrod@connectingcountry.org.au or send by hard-copy post to Connecting Country Applications, P. O. Box 437, Castlemaine, VIC 3450.
