About the role

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.
Every year we recruit our seasonal and casual team to help us with increased visitor numbers over the summer months to ensure we have capacity to deliver our services.
What will you be doing?
We are seeking a seasonal Ranger to work at Irchester Country Park helping visitors to enjoy their experience, ensuring the facilities are clean and tidy and assisting with smooth running of the park. Including working with park volunteers.
Seasonal positions start in April until September (exact dates to be confirmed)
