The Trust wishes to appoint a Senior Community Ranger having secured Access to Nature Funding to deliver the River Routes in Stockton Project, implementing key access improvements and community engagement and training initiatives adjacent to the river corridors in Stockton. This is one of the priority projects under the Stockton River Corridors Project partnership initiative between Groundwork North East, British Waterways, Environment Agency and Stockton Borough Council. 

The River Routes in Stockton project is a three year initiative, developed in response to a number of community groups who identified a need for greater access to and environmental improvements around the river corridors in Stockton. The project will provide the framework for developing physical linkages and connectivity between communities who currently have little contact with nature, to maximise the level of access and enjoyment through the development of riverside walks.

The successful candidate will be educated to degree level or equivalent in an environmental field and will preferably possess a recognised qualification in training delivery.  He or she will also have proven experience of successful project development, management and delivery and of delivering training courses.  Experience of budget control and management and the preparation of external funding applications is essential.
