Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust is shaping a wilder future for our counties – protecting special places, restoring habitats and inspiring people to act for nature. As part of the UK’s fastest-growing movement for nature’s recovery, we lead with passion, integrity and bold thinking. Join a team where your work has purpose, your ideas matter, and you can help create lasting change for wildlife and people.

We are seeking a Test & Itchen Projects Officer to join our cause.  

The Project Officer will focus on delivery of the Test & Itchen Recovery Plan; a new strategic pilot hosted by the Test & Itchen Catchment Partnership. Working closely with co-hosts Wessex Rivers Trust, this role will coordinate a variety of projects and support reporting to a new TICP Strategic Leadership Group, including tracking of delivery against the new TICP’s Catchment Plan. This role is a critical link between the Catchment Partnership and Southern Water over the AMP 8 period 2025 to 2030, aiming to support Integrated Catchment Management between Southern Water and the partnership with a focus on project development.

The role has two key functions:

• Collation and coordination of projects between Southern Water and the Catchment Hosts/Catchment Partnership and the creation of a shared priority project pipeline plan.

• To support the coordination of ongoing partnership projects running with Southern Water and the Catchment Hosts/Catchment Partnership.

What you’ll be doing: 

You’ll oversee and coordinate projects that improve water quality, water resource resilience and nature recovery in the catchment, making the link between water company activity and environmental improvement; notably the WINEP programme. You’ll combine environmental expertise and knowledge of the water sector with project management skills to ensure the successful planning, execution, and completion of projects that have a positive impact on the environment, Southern Water outcomes, Catchment Partnership outcomes and local communities.

You’ll coordinate project planning and support delivery between Southern Water and the Test & Itchen Catchment Partnership (TICP), to ensure Southern Water projects are co-developed with wider stakeholders (where applicable). The process will ensure better integration between Southern Water projects and wider TICP based projects, including a shared project pipeline. You’ll go on to manage collaborative Southern Water projects as appropriate.

About you:

• You’re an enthusiastic and collaborative environmental professional with a solid understanding of river catchments and their ecology. Confident managing projects and partnerships, you balance technical insight with strong communication and coordination skills. You build productive relationships across diverse stakeholders, from water companies and NGOs to local communities, and are motivated by delivering real outcomes for nature.
• Passionate about wildlife and driven by the Wilder 2030 vision, you’re ready to help restore the Test and Itchen and support a wilder, more resilient Hampshire.
