Job description
We are the Environment Agency. Working with Government, councils, businesses, and communities, we create a better place for people and wildlife. Acting to reduce the impacts of climate change is at the heart of everything we do.

Are challenges, rewards and making a difference with your leadership, part of your career plan?
We're looking for vibrant, self-motivated leaders who can inspire teams within the Water, Land & Biodiversity (WLB) department.

You will lead our teams to meet our goals and achieve outcomes that promote a cleaner and healthier environment for the diverse communities we serve.

You'll be committed to developing yourself and those in your team, providing a positive role model who's versatile in creating an open, inclusive, and trusting culture where people thrive.

You will look to share good practice and ways of working, identify opportunities for the business and ways to realise them.

These roles have direct line management of a range of staff at different stages in their careers. Some are vastly experienced, and others are new in role. You will be required to lead and develop all team members.

These are hybrid roles, working at least 40% of the time away from home (for full time workers this is at least 2 days per week).

You'll have the flexibility to choose which days and locations.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do.

You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident.

This may attract an additional payment and full training will be available to support you with your incident role.

The team
You'll be an integral part of our Water, Land and Biodiversity department and our Area Leadership Group. As team leader you'll join a group of 13 other leaders, who manage teams across the department.

There are several roles we are looking to fill with this round of recruitment within environment management and environmental monitoring.

We're looking to use our team leader resource flexibly to ensure our teams have all the support they need to deliver.

Experience/skills required
The role requires you to be an engaging and inspirational leader with the ability to influence others. You will have experience of developing people, leading, and motivating people to be high performing, and managing a quality service whilst providing value for money.

Additionally, you should:
- have a track record of dealing with complex leadership situations
- be able to set direction and deliver activities through your team
- effectively balance work priorities against business planning and resource management
- be flexible, resourceful and prioritise work to deliver the best outcomes
- have a positive attitude and the ability to work independently to prioritise workloads
- be a clear and confident communicator, with the ability to develop and maintain good relationships with colleagues at all levels of the organisation

Contact and additional information
Everyone starting in a new role in the West Midlands Area will be welcomed into the team and given all the training and support you need to succeed.

Interviews will be held across two weeks - w/c 20 and w/c 27 March 2023.
