Tullie House

Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre Manager

The Natural History Records Bureau at Tullie House Museum was established in 1902, inspired by the work of Reverend Hugh Alexander Macpherson who had comprehensively recorded the natural history of Cumbria. Today Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre (CBDC) continues to collate biological records of species in Cumbria and is probably the oldest record centre of its type in the world.

CBDC brings together, analyses and shares information on Cumbria’s natural history, wildlife sites and habitats for education, research and to help people make sound decisions when planning to develop and manage land sustainably.

We’re seeking an experienced professional with strong project management and collaboration skills to drive forward our diverse programme. We’re looking for someone who thrives on working with others to deliver results at scale, whilst having an eye for detail and being evidence led. You will work with community groups and our fabulous team of volunteer recorders. You will manage a small but highly productive team and will be based at Tullie House Museum in Carlisle, although there is flexibility for working from home.

Your own transport is essential as the post involves travel around the county.
