Conservation Trainee at Durham Wildlife Trust

Durham Wildlife Trust has two Conservation Trainee places for people starting a career in nature conservation. You would work with Reserves Officers and volunteers, learn practical habitat management, build species identification skills and take part in supervised training. The ten month, part time placement starts at Rainton Meadows near Houghton-le-Spring, then switches to Low Barns near Witton-le-Wear after six months. You need to be able to reach both sites; the postcode shown is the first base, not the only work location. The Trust states £15,736.50 a year for the part time post. Apply using its form by 8am GMT on 30 November 2026.
