Seasonal Cemetery Park Ranger

Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park; Greater London; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 60,000; Full time

Job description

The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park (FoTHCP) is an award-winning charity working to protect, conserve and care for the Cemetery Park. The site includes one of the historic 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian-era London cemeteries and adjoining areas including Scrapyard Meadow and Ackroyd Drive Greenlink. The 31-acre Local Nature Reserve is a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation and London's most central urban woodland.

We're looking to recruit a seasonal Cemetery Park Ranger (six-months) to support us with our busy season.

You will be required to work under the direction of the Cemetery Park Manager and Senior Cemetery Park Officer as well as independently.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a small and dedicated team with plenty of scope for growth and development. We encourage applications from individuals that enjoy working with the general public and who have experience working in agile, small charities.

You will be an organised and motivated individual, with experience working with volunteers and the general public. Ideally, you will have worked or volunteered in parks and/or nature reserves, and have hands-on experience of conservation and habitat management work. You’ll enjoy working closely with our team while also being able to work independently as required.

The role (like our Charity) is based in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park (London E3), and you will be expected to be onsite within the Cemetery Park and in our office (in the Cemetery Park Lodge).

Please apply in writing with your CV and a cover letter to [e-mail].

Interviews will be held on the 28th April for successful applicants.
