Location: Baggeridge Country Park

Baggeridge Country Park is a picturesque 150acre nature reserve located between Wombourne and Sedgley on the edge of the Black Country. This Green Flag award winning site welcomes around 200,000 visitors each year and features woodland, meadows, pools, extensive pathways, picnic spots, and amenity areas. Popular attractions in the park include the children's play area, miniature railway, high ropes adventure course, and indoor community space, along with a tea shop.

Nearby in Wombourne is the 5.5 mile South Staffordshire Railway Walk, a former railway line owned by the council and managed by the Ranger Team.

The park is cared for by a dedicated team of Rangers who take great pride in their work. We are now looking to increase our pool of casual Rangers to support the team with the day-to-day management and maintenance of both the Park and the South Staffordshire Railway Walk, predominantly during peak times.

Applicants must have knowledge and/or interest in wildlife and/or countryside / outdoor and related recreation (either paid or voluntary), have good communication skills and be in possession of a valid full driving licence.

Full details of the role are provided in the Job Description and Person Specification.
