Boyne Rivers Trust (BRT) is an environmental charity to the conservation and protection of the Boyne River catchment.

The aim of the trust is to protect, enhance and restore the water bodies of the Boyne catchment through community-led projects and activities. Job Summary The Farm Advisor will work with farmers, across the Boyne catchment, to identify potential changes in agricultural and land management practices, intended to bring about improved water quality and freshwater habitats at a catchment-scale, whilst also benefiting farm businesses. The post-holder will undertake one-to-one farm visits, working with landowners to identify ways to reduce the risk and impact of diffuse and point-source water pollution from agriculture. This will be done through non-regulatory farmyard and field assessments to identify possible water protection measures and the production of bespoke farm water management plans. The Farm Advisor will also aim to raise awareness, improve understanding and acceptance amongst farmers and land managers of diffuse and point-source pollution from agriculture and its impact on water quality and the wider water environment. Engagement with farmers in the Boyne catchment will seek to create, through a voluntary approach, a sense of ownership and achievement within the farming community in relation to improving water quality and water dependent species and habitats in the catchments across the Boyne Rivers Trust’s operational area. This is an opportunity to be at the heart of a small, growing, and enthusiastic team. This new role is essential to the growth and development of the Trust to make a real difference to the biodiversity, habitats and ecosystems of the Boyne Catchment.

We have an impressive track-record of successful delivery of projects. We have a vacancy for a Project Officer (Commons) to join the passionate and growing team delivering the ​‘Resilient Glenderamackin’ Landscape Recovery (RGLR) project — an ambitious, large-scale catchment restoration project located upstream of Keswick.

You will be an excellent listener, empathetic, and able to negotiate workable and practical solutions when a consensus view does not immediately emerge. You will be a self-starter who can demonstrate a committed, mature and flexible approach and have the enthusiasm to develop our work on the commons.
