Help bring local catchment knowledge into regional water planning across the Thames Basin, delivering nature-based solutions for healthier, more resilient rivers.

We are advertising again for a Water Resources Partnerships Manager to join Thames Rivers Trust. It’s an exciting opportunity to help catchment partnerships shape regional water resources planning across the Thames River Basin District.

Catchment partnerships hold a wealth of local knowledge about their rivers and catchments, but this isn’t always reflected in the regional decisions that shape investment in water resources. Funded by Water Resources South East (WRSE), this role will be the main link between WRSE and catchment hosts. You will help Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) partnerships contribute their local knowledge to Environmental Destination scenarios, the Regional Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) and the wider WRSE Regional Plan.

We’re looking for a natural communicator who understands catchment-based approaches and water resource issues. You’ll need to be able to turn technical information into clear, practical messages for a range of audiences.
