Apprentices wanted for South Downs National Park



Apprentices wanted for South Downs National Park

May 30, 2019

This September our apprenticeship programme for young people interested in conservation and the environment will be recruiting once again.

The programme, run by the National Park Authority and supported by the Foyle Foundation, is offering new roles, including two business administration apprenticeships.

Trevor Beattie, Chief Executive for the South Downs National Park Authority, said:
“This is a rare opportunity to gain the experience and qualifications needed for a career in the environmental sector. Get a head start by helping to make a difference here in the South Downs – caring for the landscapes and wildlife, and helping more people to understand and enjoy the National Park.

“Our ranger apprenticeships will be great for someone looking for a career outdoors but don’t underestimate the value of the work and experience you could gain indoors at our head office in the South Downs Centre. Helping to tell the public what we do, making sure that we pay our bills and getting involved in planning future work programmes will all provide a good training background for a career in environmental conservation.”

Applications close on 23rd September 2019.
