There will also be opportunities to work alongside Coast Care and AONB staff to learn about and enjoy the countryside, wildlife and heritage of the Northumberland Coast and gain a broad range of practical countryside management skills.
The role will suit a recent graduate from the environment, ecology, countryside or land management sectors or someone working towards a qualification who is looking to gain new skills and experience and a foot on the ladder towards employment.
