Ranger

As a Ranger, you're a champion of nature conservation and the great outdoors, and you'll play a crucial role in keeping the nation's beloved countryside and coast in good shape, for wildlife and for people. You should be willing to work some weekends, bank holidays and evenings, and be on call. Reporting to the Lead Ranger, you'll be joining a countryside team who work across Pembrokeshire. Based at Stackpole in South Pembrokeshire, you'll be part of a team that consists of a Lead Ranger and two Rangers. What you'll be doing You'll be helping to protect and care for habitats, wildlife, buildings and machinery. You'll pass on your knowledge and enthusiasm to encourage others to love this area as much as you do. Whenever and wherever you come across people, you'll take the time to talk to them and answer their questions, rather than rushing away to the next task. You'll make sure that the conservation work and outdoor experiences on the land in your care are of the highest standard. You'll build relationships in the local community, proudly representing the Trust and letting people know about the work you and the team are doing. Working alongside other rangers, you'll be carrying out a wide range of practical tasks to restore our woodlands, wetlands and rare grassland habitats. You'll be working with and occasionally supervising volunteer groups, teaching them new skills and helping them to perform at their best.
