Summary
Our beaches and foreshores are one of our District’s greatest assets and the demand for their use is growing year on year.
We are looking for part time seasonal Beach and Coast Rangers to join our team.
The Beach and Coast Ranger role is to provide a visible presence around the Thanet coastline and beaches by educating coastal visitors about staying safe and following the coastal codes of conduct, assist with maintaining the coastline assets, mitigate against health and safety risks and help keep our coastline safe in accordance with all relevant guidance, policies and procedures. The role requires extensive knowledge of the coastline and the services that the Council provides, to help to develop and deliver significant improvements across the district and around our coast, especially at peak times during the summer season.
This is a public facing role within the organisation and the community and the ability to manage internal and external customer relationships effectively and appropriately is essential.
Thanet is a great place to live and work...
Our historic seaside towns of Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs and surrounding villages are rich in heritage and opportunity. With 19 miles of stunning coastline, our beautiful Blue Flag beaches, the internationally renowned Turner Contemporary, and the UK’s only Royal Harbour are all just a short train ride from central London thanks to the high-speed rail link. Our proximity to the port of Dover and the Eurotunnel at Folkestone mean Europe is literally on our doorstep too.
All of this, combined with a flexible approach to how we work makes it an exciting time to join Thanet District Council. We have set our sights high. We want our residents to enjoy the highest quality services. We want to ensure that by listening to local people, working in active partnership and doing things in an innovative way, we can accelerate improvement to meet the challenges ahead.
