Are you determined to have a career in nature conservation but lack the necessary experience and certified training?

We are providing one full time, paid, trainee role starting in September 2025 for one year.

The traineeship will enable you to gain invaluable experience working with our Nature Recovery Team supporting our work on our Nature Reserves and weekly volunteer groups, as well as wildlife monitoring and species identification work. There will also be a training budget to support individual interests. All applicants must be able to demonstrate the ability to work hard outdoors in all weathers with the desire to learn new skills and show initiative in supporting the work of GWT.

Our Nature Reserves include nationally important habitats from the highest Beech woods in Wales to beautiful wildflower meadows in the Wye Valley.

This is an amazing opportunity and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds including recent school leavers or graduates. We are looking for someone who has a real passion for wildlife and for this to be their future career.
