Summary
We are looking for 3 apprentices as part of the countryside Life on the Edge (LotE) project. LotE Level 2 apprentices will be working to helping create, restore and conserve important habitats on the South Devon coast, all working towards securing a future for 30 rare and threatened invertebrates which call South Devon home. Species include Mediterranean oil beetle, Long-horned bee and the rarest bee in Britain, the Six-banded nomad bee. They will work towards a Level 2 Countryside Worker qualification, with our partner training provider.
Through a programme of structured learning, both at college and on the job with South Devon Ranger teams, Life on the Edge Apprentices will gain experience and build a portfolio and given the opportunity to gain a Level 2 Apprenticeship.
Working alongside project partners, the National Trust, apprentices will be hosted by local ranger teams at two locations; Southdown farm and Coleton Fishacre who look to conserve and enhance the spaces for people and for nature. Working at National Trust sites, ranging over 90km along the entirety of the South Devon Coast, these LotE apprenticeship opportunities will have a fantastic insight into the world of nature conservation, whilst improving access and inspiring others about nature.
We urge applicants to apply who meet the scheme requirements and have a keenness to learn more about the natural world and how to conserve it. The work will be varied - alongside the ranger teams it will range from practical estate work, surveying plants and insects, and engaging with the public at events. The scheme will also benefit from the wider Life on the Edge project with opportunities to be involved with wider project activity with other project delivery partners.
All interested candidates are encouraged to join an online webinar session to learn more about the Life on the Edge project, this apprenticeship scheme and ask any questions in a short Q&A session. This will be held on Zoom at 1830 on Tuesday 27 August 2024. Please get in contact lote@southdevon-nl.org.uk for the link.
We are only able to accept applications from individuals over the age of 18 years old.
For an informal discussion please contact Nicky Bailey, Life on the Edge Volunteering and Learning Officer on 01803 229334 or email nicky.bailey@southdevon-nl.org.uk
