Thanks to funding from a major donor and Bupa we are able to provide an exciting, new trainee scheme for one year for three individuals. The trainee scheme will provide the opportunity to work within our Reserves Management team as well as a diverse range of practical training from calcareous grassland management, heathland management to conservation grazing, along with many more transferable skills.

The role will involve largely working outdoors, no two days will be the same. The role is for 4 days a week and you will be offered the opportunity to develop your own interests and work with a range of different teams, including Education, Research & Monitoring, and Nature Based Solutions.

The trainee scheme will provide the chance to lead groups of practical conservation volunteers and be part of a team that truly cares about the environment. You would get the opportunity to undertake a selection of funded external and internal training, including First Aid, Brushcutter and NPTC Chainsaw courses (or suitable equivalents if you already have these qualifications).

You must have some previous experience of successfully working with volunteers and the ability to inspire others in nature conservation. You must have an understanding of the skills required in countryside and habitat management. We are looking for passionate individuals who are looking for that first step into a career in conservation.

A driving licence is essential as our locations cannot all be easily accessed by public transport.
