The Wessex Regional Flood and Coastal Committee is one of 12 Committees across the country that make key decisions on local priorities for flood and coastal risk management.
The openings offer the public the chance to help tackle Wessex flood risk - applicants do not need to be experts in flood and coastal risk management, although the Agency says some technical understanding would be beneficial.
Nick Gupta, Wessex Area Manager said:
“These roles are important to help reduce flood risk in Wessex. We are keen to hear from people who have a real passion to make a positive difference to communities, the environment and the local economy in the face of the challenge of our changing climate and are particularly keen to hear from young people and those from ethnically diverse backgrounds in a bid to better reflect the rich multicultural diversity of the Wessex Area.”
The committee meets 4 times a year at locations within the Wessex Area although successful candidates may also be asked to attend additional meetings. The roles are unpaid but reasonable expenses, including travel, can be claimed.
The closing date for applications is Monday 1 June 2015. Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 07827 311441 for an application form.
