Full Job Description
The Atlantic Salmon Trust is looking to appoint a Programme Coordinator for Project Laxford, one of its two pioneering Core Rivers programmes currently operating in Scotland.Project Laxford is a partnership between the Atlantic Salmon Trust and Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate based around the River Laxford catchment in northwest Sutherland. By combining state-of-the-art environmental monitoring and on-the-ground habitat restoration, Project Laxford’s planned 10-year programme of work looks to create an exemplar for river catchment restoration, where solutions for wild Atlantic salmon and wider biodiversity recovery can be implemented at a catchment scale.Working together with Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate staff, the local community and other project partners, the Programme Coordinator will organise, operate and maintain the salmon and sea trout monitoring and restoration programme for the River Laxford catchment. This includes overseeing and maintaining a world-leading sonar-imaging fish counter, managing an annual PIT (passive integrated transponder) tagging programme of juvenile salmon, managing the seasonal operation of a rotary screw trap to capture juvenile salmon, electrofishing surveys, invertebrate surveys and wider ecological surveying.The role holder will also support and facilitate the delivery of research and restoration actions, both in the field and desk-based, working collaboratively with the Atlantic Salmon Trust’s wider research and restoration teams, as well as the team at Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate. This includes work in the river, its tributaries, lochs and surrounding landscape, as well as in the estuarine and near-coastal zones. Community engagement also lies at the heart of the project, and the Programme Coordinator will support and develop communication and outreach exercises to engage and inspire.This exciting role gives an outstanding, driven and motivated individual the opportunity to live and work in one of the UK’s most beautiful, wild places on a project at the forefront of wild salmon restoration. Above all, this role is about being part of a visionary nature restoration project with the ambition to generate the knowledge and solutions required to support wild salmon recovery efforts across the North Atlantic., None specified
