You will have a full valid driving license, a countryside management qualification and strong practical habitat management experience and skills. Diverse practical estate, habitat management and access maintenance work at Ridgetop Park will be a key part of the role, and on occasions working within the wider team across the district's diverse countryside parks and natures reserves. You will be physically fit to access all terrains and carry out practical site management works. You will need a positive 'can do' attitude and flexible approach. You will be capable and willing to work in all weathers (PPE supplied) and will have an excellent regard for your own safety and that of others. The role will also involve community outreach to raise the site profile and encourage more people to visit.
