Summary

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.

What it's like to work here Reporting to the Area Ranger, you'll be delivering practical conservation work in all weathers supporting our Countryside Stewardship agreements for Selborne, Ludshott and Passfield and Conford, all of which are SSSIs and each individually species diverse, with fascinating historical use including connections to the great naturalist, Gilbert White and the Army.  You’ll be working with experienced colleagues, partners and contractors in this small team focussing on management of these habitats , with some collaborative work across the wider portfolio to support the project work at Hinton Ampner to restore landscapes.   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.
