Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing environmental organisations and seeks to appoint a Heritage Officer based at Spurn.

Heathland Heartlands is an initiative between Durham Wildlife Trust, communities around the Stanley area, Durham County Council and Natural England. The sites the project will focus on are ‘doorstep’ heaths on the edge of urban areas which provide not only a valuable resource for wildlife but also an amenity for people. These sites can play an important role in educating society about our natural heritage and contribute to the health and well-being of local residents. The Heathland Heartlands project will give people the knowledge they need to ensure that their local heathland sites are cared for and valued into the future. The Heathland Heartlands project officer will engage communities across the project area, including working with volunteers and delivering training events on the sites, to show the real value the heathlands provide for people. The participating individuals and communities will be encouraged to develop new skills and knowledge to generate a feeling of local ownership and pride. The post is subject to enhanced CRB disclosure. Office base is the Trust’s premises at Houghton-le-Spring. Practical work will be delivered at sites across the Stanley area.
