About the role
Our Country Parks and Woodland team manage five country parks across North Northamptonshire as well as looking after Corby’s Ancient Woodlands. We work to create spaces where flora and fauna can thrive and people can enjoy the environment, learn about nature as well as improving mental and physical health.
We are recruiting our casual education rangers to help us with increased visitor numbers to ensure we have capacity to deliver our services.
What will you be doing?
We are looking to recruit casual Education Rangers to join our friendly team that delivers outdoor learning sessions to schools and groups visiting our country parks across North Northants. Helping to promote environmental awareness as well as the physical and mental benefits of engaging with nature.
About you
