A bit about what you can expect to find on the pages of countryside-jobs.com and in our various publications.
CJS is a specialist service for the countryside sector. We publish information which we think will be of interest to people working in countryside management and conservation profession.
This takes many forms, initially it was solely jobs but just as the sector is large and complex so is CJS. In addition to recruitment you will now find information about training courses and professional events, providers of training; a growing section of 'classified' advertising mostly goods and services but fundamentally anything relevant that isn't work or recruitment related and lots of information about the various sectors, a huge list of useful links.
There are three CJS publications focusing on recruitment. CJS Weekly was the first to be published, the first edition appearing in July 1994, and it remains the largest publication carrying details of all the vacancies in the other two and lots more besides. CJS Monthly is a free newspaper and also freely available online. The website (CJS Daily Online) is the fastest growing in terms of both readers and numbers of adverts, there is also a separate page of volunteer adverts.
So, what sort of jobs will I find in CJS?Pretty much anything related to the countryside, from arboriculture to wildlife projects and everything in between including gamekeeping. Countryside interpretation, research work, environmental education and visitor management are also included as are rights of way work and community involvement projects and not forgetting urban greenspaces and rural regeneration too. CJS also includes environmental and 'green' jobs so you'll also find waste minimisation, recycling and energy efficiency initiatives. You won't find work dealing with radioactivity or asbestos, neither do we include environmental health vacancies or lab based microscopy work or computer modelling jobs.

jobs advertised by CJS
The quarterly Special Editions are a wealth of information on a range of subjects, each focuses on a different aspect of the countryside / conservation sector. The links pages offer a jumping off point on your voyage of discovery, for ease of reference they're split into different categories.
Is it right for me?If you're interested in, looking for work (paid or voluntary), looking for staff, already working in or wanting to get involved in anything to do with the countryside then CJS is the place for you.
Where do I start?Either return to the home page and click on the big coloured buttons to see each section or click on one of the options in the menu on the left. If you get totally lost (we know it's a big site which can seem scary at first) remember if you click on the CJS logo you'll go straight back to the home page.
