COUNTRYSIDE wardens are helping students into jobs by offering vital work experience.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is offering students and graduates the chance to work at its three countryside sites.
Three assistant countryside warden placements at Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park, Normanby; Guisborough Forest; and Saltburn Woodland Centre will run from early next month to mid-September.
The work experience, which offers travel expenses and a lunch allowance, is open to recent graduates and students of environmental or natural science-related courses. People must either live or study in the Tees Valley area.
Councillor Graham Jeffrey, said: "This is an excellent opportunity for students to support their training with practical hands-on experience, which is so important when trying to gain employment in the environmental sector."
Work will involve habitat management, environmental education work, and helping to plan and run events and guided walks.
