Hi All
Quote "I cannot think of any industry that would expect such high levels of education and training and expect to get away with paying so little."
Nature conservation officer: Salary and conditions
Typical starting salaries may range from ?12,000 to ?14,000,
Range of typical salaries at senior level/with experience (e.g. after 10-15 years in the role): ?17,000 - ?29,000.
Working hours typically include unsocial hours, such as evening meetings and early starts. It may be necessary to work some weekends and public holidays.
At entry level in particular, the work can be rough and extremely demanding, often outdoors in all weathers.
The balance between field work and office-based work varies considerably, with more administration, statistical analysis and report writing associated with senior positions.
