Do you love the natural world? Do you want to be part of an organisation that is fighting to save it? If you thrive working with the public then this may be for you.
RSPB Scotland has a rare pilot partnership project based at Sandyhills bay. The bay sits at the foot of a wooded hill, close to a sheltered sandy beach that is one of the finest in the area. During the summer months it is a buzz of holiday makers and day visitors; therefore we are looking for someone who can open their eyes to the wildlife that is around them and inspire them to become supporters of the charity.
Based in and around the holiday park you will interact with the public on a daily basis. You will integrate wildlife crafts and activities for visiting families and will inspire them to become members of the organisation.
This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to set up and manage a brand new partnership project.
We are looking for an enthusiastic dynamic individual who will be creative, persuasive and fun.
