As part of its ethos to give responsibility to young people, this post is for an individual to take full responsibility to create information sheets on conservation and wildlife. The post can operate remotely. Each post last for one university year part time. (i.e. you can work part time and fit it in with your university studies as and when you wish)

The trust is a registered charity for the advancement of education in horticulture and conservation. The garden is organic and wildlife takes precedence. The Trust also has a code of practice with regards to rights of non-human life.  In both the house and the garden the carbon footprint is being reduced and measures for ecological living undertaken.

The manager appointed will research write up such guides chosen from the available list supplied. But may also make suggestions of other subjects to be written. The finished material will be stored in the Trust archives and disseminated to the public. The manager will be given authorial credit. The material may be used in future publications by the Trust.
