Contract Period: Fixed Permanent Contract
We're recruiting a Countryside Ranger to join The Greensand Trust Ranger Service working across Central Bedfordshire.
The Trust has developed and established a comprehensive ranger service which looks after a range of countryside and park sites which we own or manage on behalf of local authorities and private landowners. The aim of this service is to support high quality countryside recreation facilities whilst conserving the special landscape, wildlife and historic aspects of sites and increasing the public’s awareness of environmental and local countryside issues.
We are looking for an experienced and skilled individual to work with our established ranger team. Our Ranger Team supports approximately 15 officers, as well as approx. 100 practical conservation volunteers, delivering conservation / practical activities across the area. Opportunities to take on specific areas of responsibility within the Ranger Service. There are fixed core working hours applicable to your employment. Your normal working hours are based upon your working 2,080 hours per 52-week year (1 April to 31 March) based on 40 hours per week, Sunday to Saturday. You will need to work flexibly including weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis and occasional evenings, for which days will be taken off during the previous week. No overtime will be paid. You may negotiate your own flexible work hours and rota, within reason, with your line manager and colleagues so long as it is not to the detriment of your work or the Ranger Service. A vehicle will be provided for work purposes, which is shared by the other officers and rangers. A uniform will be provided which you will be expected to wear when on duty.
