GIS Developer

About the role

We are looking for a GIS Developer to play a key role in two national partnership programmes that leverage GIS tools for public participation in scientific research, community environmental action and nature recovery. 60% of the role is focused on the well established National Education Nature Park, enhancing the existing suite of GIS tools and visualisations to increase impact, smooth data collection and more deeply embed GIS within school teaching. 40% of the role is focused on a new programme, Museums for Nature, which will adapt the Nature Park GIS tools for regional museums to use with local community groups and partners to work towards and monitor nature recovery. Both projects deliver on the Museum's strategic priority Urban Nature Movement.

About you

Are you looking to use your GIS skills to enable real world action on biodiversity loss and climate change? Do you have experience developing a broad suite of ArcGIS tools and visualisations and a passion for up skilling others? Do you have the ability to communicate GIS with non specialist audiences and develop user centred, accessible and attractive GIS based tools for public audiences including children and young people?
