Job description

Countryside Worker Apprentice at Swinton Estate


40 hours per week to include college time; Monday – Friday, with occasional weekend work to be agreed in advance.


Salary

£16,640 16 – 17 year olds

£20,800 18 – 20 year olds

£22,880 21+ years


The post holder will have an opportunity to spend a block of time with each of the sporting team, forestry team and grounds team with an opportunity to then deepen their knowledge in one of these areas for the remainder of their placement.


Outline of the role

  • Building and repairing a variety of field boundaries and estate infrastructure including fences, walls and hedging.
  • Maintaining public rights of way and private tracks, paths and rides, to include associated gates, stiles and bridges.
  • Improving habitats and managing woodland to keep them in good condition by using a variety of appropriate techniques, including pruning, felling or planting so native flora and fauna (plants and animals) can thrive.
  • Helping to control invasive species, such as Himalayan Balsam– this could be cutting back, pulling out, spraying or injecting with pesticide.
  • Surveying/monitoring habitats and flora and fauna to understand species numbers and relate this to relevant habitat management practices. For example, monitoring of the numbers of merlin (native bird of prey) has resulted in areas of moorland being left unburned (burning is a common management technique to encourage new heather growth).
  • Working alongside the sporting, forestry and grounds teams anywhere on the Swinton Estate.


It is envisaged that interviews will take place on the 10th and 11th July.
