Our colleagues work for the National Trust in many locations and sometimes don't have easy access to internal vacancy listings. Using the internet ensures we can reach as many of our colleagues as possible. We appreciate that this can be frustrating for external talent. Do note that some roles are released externally after an initial period of time.

With a love for the great outdoors, you’ll enjoy working with nature and want to inspire and motivate others.  You’ll help to make habitats for wildlife better and make everyone feel welcome at our places.  

This is a great opportunity to develop your skills and contribute to the important work we’re doing. As part of the Ranger team, you’ll need to think about our impact on the environment and how you can help. 

You'll join us on a permanent part time contract - 15 hours per week. The post will be working two days per week, primarily Wednesday and Thursday but on occasion changing to other days. The role will involve opening up and closing the estate along with tractor driving, mowing and general maintenance of the estate. Time of work is 9am to 5pm winter hours then 10am to 6pm summer hours. 

Interviews will be held 24th March
