Casual Education Ranger

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., This is casual work with no guaranteed hours and will therefore involve working flexibly and in all weathers. The amount of work will vary depending on the number of school/group bookings and although we offer a service all year, the bulk of the demand is from April to July.

You must have a genuine enthusiasm for this kind of work along with excellent communication skills. Some experience delivering activity sessions and a reasonable general knowledge of natural history are essential whilst formal teaching experience is desirable but not essential.

We are a new unitary council, established in April 2021; we are one of the largest unitary councils in the country. Our vision for North Northants is to be 'A place where everyone has the best opportunities and quality of life'.
