Equal Opportunities
We are working to develop a more inclusive and equal opportunities recruitment process, so please note that an academic degree or equivalent is not an essential requirement for this role. We will welcome supporting statements in written format, short film format, or voice recordings. All supporting statements will be considered equally. Whatever your method, please ensure that you demonstrate your skills, experience, and suitability – and why you want the job.
We also welcome applications from people who are from ethnically diverse backgrounds or who are living with health conditions or disabilities.
Diversity Statement
We’re building a culture where diversity is valued, and we can all be ourselves. We still have work to do, but are strongly committed to inclusive practices which demonstrate fairness, equality, and anti-racism in everything we do. We will not tolerate less favourable treatment of anyone, especially those with legally protected characteristics, and welcome applications from all sections of communities.
Work experience
The Cotswolds National Landscape team welcomes applications from young people for work experience across our dynamic and varied organisation. We are a small, friendly organisation – and we can offer students a positive introduction to a broad range of work experiences in the conservation and environmental sector.
Our work experience opportunities for the academic year 2024-25 have concluded. Please check back here to view opportunities for summer 2026.
Occasionally, we have opportunities for work experience at other times in the year – but this is variable and decided on a case-by-case basis.
Places for a four-day work experience programmes are very limited and so we encourage young people to apply early. We will prioritise applications from schools within the Cotswolds National Landscape, and from students with a demonstrable interest in working within our sector.
If you would like to gain work experience with us, please email our Outdoor Learning Officer at helen.komor@cotswolds-nl.org.uk.
