Sussex Wildlife Trust Lederman Traineeships

The Trust is working in partnership with the Leysdown Conservation Trust to provide an opportunity for 2 individuals to gain a vast array of valuable experience and skills in the conservation and environmental field under The Vera Dalley Lederman Scholarship and Environmental Training Programme. The 18 month programme is a fantastic opportunity for individuals wishing to pursue a career in land management or public engagement. Each trainee will have the benefit of working alongside fully qualified and highly experienced staff within the Land Management and People & Wildlife Departments of the Trust and will receive a wide range of internal and external industry training in a variety of activities dependent on the specific career path they wish to follow.

The successful candidates will be at least 18 years of age and have a real passion for nature conservation and wildlife. Previous experience is not required but an understanding of countryside management and/or environmental education will be beneficial. Any experience of working as part of or leading a team, or working with volunteers will be valuable. Individuals must be able to commit to the 18 month programme and most importantly be self-motivated, have a willingness to learn and have aspirations to develop a career within the nature conservation sector.
