To meet the expanding ambitions of the next All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2026-2030, the National Biodiversity Data Centre is inviting applications from suitably qualified applicants to apply for the Programme Manager role. They will be responsible for coordinating implementation of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan and will oversee a team of six Project Officers who are based in the National Biodiversity Data Centre. This is an exciting opportunity to drive a more ambitious AIPP over the coming years.
The All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2026-2030 will be a 10-module island-wide programme focussed on: Protecting Farmland Pollinators; Creating Buzzing Communities; Encouraging Local Authority and Public Body engagement; Encouraging Transport Authority and Public Utilities engagement; Encouraging Business and Industry engagement; Protecting Rare and Threatened Pollinator species; Monitoring; Research; Mapping; and Communications. The Plan is in development and will be published in May 2026.
The All-Ireland Pollinator Plan is coordinated by the National Biodiversity Data Centre. The next phase is supported through funding from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Government of Ireland’s Shared Island Fund, and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency.
