Ranger

You will be ‘working in the footsteps of our ancestors’ on internationally important archaeological sites and species rich chalk grassland habitats at Avebury and beyond. Avebury is a complex, and incredibly special place. At its heart is Europe’s largest megalithic stone circle which attracts people from all over the world. In the wider Avebury estate, you will be working among many significant prehistoric features of the landscape such as West Kennet Long barrow, West Kennet Avenue and Windmill Hill.

Further afield you will find rolling chalk downland and dry coombe valleys with an abundance of species rich chalk grassland flowers and butterflies, diverse scrub and woodland habitats and an Iron age hillfort with breath‑taking panoramic views of the Wiltshire landscape.

Throughout the portfolio you will be working alongside skilled and experienced fellow rangers with opportunities to soak up the specialist knowledge of our archaeologists and wildlife advisers.

There is lots going on, including scrub management, practical estate maintenance work, regular volunteer work parties and ecological surveying, to name but a few elements of this exciting ranger role.
