This role will work as a flagship multi-agency science programme with a high profile with policy makers in Defra and HMT. We are looking for experts who relish the thrill of developing a new way of how we make environmental decisions in England. Sentinel is the Environment Agency’s new national evidence capability, and this role is core to its production and delivery.

This role requires an organised mind, an eye for detail and an ability to deliver efficient and novel business outcomes via innovative solutions.
Leading a new evidence capability to deliver the needs of the 25 Year Environment Plan and natural capital assessments, the Sentinel Capability team will develop the Environment Agency’s contribution to Defra’s NCEA programme.
