Are you looking to pursue a career in UK wildlife conservation?
If so, we might have the perfect opportunity for you!
Here at Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, we are looking for our next Wild Trainee to be part of our Evidence and Connected Landscapes team.
You’ll agree a personal training plan and receive tailored internal and certified external training as well as a wide range of experience across the work of the Wildlife Trusts, designed to give you the professional skills you need to get your first job in the sector.
With individual support you will have opportunities to get involved in all aspects of GWT’s work. Initially focussing on undertaking ecological monitoring and habitat mapping across our nature reserves and project sites, you’ll gain experience in many aspects of UK wildlife conservation, while absorbing practical knowhow from your experienced and friendly mentor.
Throughout the year you will also gain technical and soft skills with other GWT teams, including Land Management, Farm Advice, Engagement & Learning and Communications to give you wider experience and an overview of the career opportunities available in the UK Nature sector.
“Having made the decision to change career to Ecology, the Wild Traineeship helped bridge the gap brilliantly. I gained huge amounts of skills and confidence, as the experience exposed me to so many different areas of conservation and equipped me to take the next steps in my career." Tom, Evidence Wild Trainee
This opportunity is on a fixed term basis for 1 year, minimum 21 hours per week with some flexibility. Although based in Gloucester, this role involves travelling to nature reserves across Gloucestershire, so independent transport is essential March – October.
