What you'll be doing:You'll be a member of the ranger team helping to deliver great experiences for our visitors by working on our extensive network of footpaths. You will also work with our wide range of volunteers and support the opportunities we have to engage with our supporters, neighbours and visitors.


You'll also help us with our nature recovery work which is focusing on woodland and meadow creation. You'll be involved in practical tasks such as fencing, tree planting and seed harvesting.
