LET'S TELL YOU MORE

We have a lovely opportunity to be a Ranger working at our Carsington Water site.

We're seeking someone who has an interest in maintaining a wide range of habitats and publicly accessible green space. And of course, it's important you possess a natural passion for delivering great customer service!

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:

• Practical grounds maintenance and conservation management using power tools, (strimmer, brush cutter, chainsaws etc).

• Be an ambassador for Severn Trent and helping out visitors on site with any queries they may have.

• Responsible for carrying out H&S Inspections across the site location.

• Managing all forms of volunteering including recruitment, work planning, supervision and managing their safety to ensure that we have a well-motivated team.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for people that have experience in Customer Service, Ground maintenance, conservation, and Visitor management.

Event organising and being familiar with outdoor sports is desirable for this role such as fishing, cycling and walking as this is what a lot of visitors will be doing across the areas you will be helping to maintain.

Having the ability to work with a large range of different people is important such as volunteers, contractors and partners as this will vary day to day.

A health and safety management qualification as well as some practical qualification such as chainsaws, woodchippers and trailer towing would be great too.

You'll also need to have a full UK driving license for this role as it does involve some travel to and from sites.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.

We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care.

HOW WE'LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU IN RETURN
