About You

You will have experience of working outdoors and collecting field data, preferably in an upland environment. Ideally, you will have a good knowledge of upland ecosystems, ecosystem services and moorland restoration techniques.

In return, we can offer you the opportunity of making a real difference to the South Pennine uplands, working as part of a friendly and focused team.

You will be based at the Moorland Centre, in the beautiful village of Edale, minutes from the Pennine Way.

About Us

The Peak District National Park was the first of Britain's 15 national parks and is still enjoyed by millions, looking for both adventure and a breathing space to escape.

It is also the most accessible due its proximity to four major cities of the UK and its 38,000 residents.
