Tasmania’s Cradle Coast Region is home to iconic species, natural landscapes and Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area. There are 20 diverse river catchments, fertile and productive agricultural land, and rich and extensive Aboriginal cultural landscapes.

As one of three natural resource management (NRM) organisations in Tasmania (and 54 in Australia), the role of Cradle Coast NRM is to protect, sustainably manage and improve natural resources by actively working with communities to ensure a healthy future for the region. Our work is guided by our 2030 NRM Strategy for Cradle Coast Tasmania and incorporates Biodiversity-themed action to protect and maintain the region’s high-value habitat for threatened species, important biodiversity areas and ecological communities.

We are currently recruiting for a Biodiversity Coordinator to lead the delivery of our key biodiversity projects, including supporting the urgent recovery of our Giant Freshwater Crayfish and assessing regional populations of the Australian Grayling to better understand appropriate recovery initiatives.

Key responsibilities include:

• Community engagement to encourage participation in project opportunities to protect the habitat of our priority threatened species
• Facilitating and supporting landholders to deliver on-ground works to protect habitat and natural values
• Planning and delivery of new initiatives that align with our NRM Strategy’s biodiversity outcomes

The position is offered on a permanent full-time basis with a base salary up to $85,000 per annum, dependent on the successful applicant’s knowledge, skills and abilities.
