For all things countryside, conservation and wildlife related.

                                                                                                              

A weekly newsletter containing details of the latest events across the sector, vacancies, voluntary opportunities and training placements plus once a month a calendar of short professional courses and events.  CJS Weekly is the longest running and most widely known of our publications.  This is the original CJS, established in July 1994 as a specialist newsletter for countryside ranger.  In the following years both the range of advertised employment opportunities and scope of the newsletter increased markedly.  The countryside sector is broad and CJS tries to cover all areas for both news and jobs.  You’ll find ecology and biodiversity, arboriculture, rights of way, wildlife and environmental education as well as the countryside ranger aspects you’d expect.

 

NEWS

Each edition includes a round up of the industry news and important announcements.  With big stories such as the forestry sell off in February 2011 and the publication of the government’s Environment White Paper in June 2011 as well as the initial announcement CJS pulls together a range of responses from the main affected and interested organisations and a selection from some of the smaller, perhaps less well known, lower profile groups.  Digital and online copies include clickable links to read articles in more depth and to download accompanying documentation.

 

JOBS

CJS Weekly averages 50 new paid UK vacancies each week and in 2010 68.7% of all vacancies were are sent direct from the employer, many of which are not advertised anywhere else.  The remainder are sourced from national newspapers and specialists publications as well as national Government agency and major charity websites.  For recent jobs numbers please read our blog.  Posts advertised are based across the country, we also publish details of any overseas posts sent direct from the employer but do not review publications to include these as part of the regular content. For more about the range of vacancies please read Job Types. Other than countryside ranger posts in 2010 the majority of vacancies advertised in CJS were in arboriculture, ecology and biodiversity, and environmental education.  Other sectors covered include rights of way, community projects, wildlife work and working with volunteers and trainees.  Digital and online copies include links to the full advert for any vacancy posted on our online pages and all adverts have clickable hyperlinks direct to web and email addresses.

 

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers provide vital support to many charities and projects, volunteering is a good way to gain valuable experience as well as ‘putting something back’.  CJS includes the same details for voluntary posts as for paid positions and across the same range both geographically and types of role.

 

TRAINING

Gaining specialist skills and keeping your certification up to date is an important aspect of most careers and the countryside sector is no different.  CJS has an extensive directory of short courses, usually running at around 900 to 1,000 at any one time.  Although these are all available online once a month a selection are included in CJS Weekly.  For example the third edition in January will have the full calendar of professional courses and events occurring in March.  Each weekly edition has information on any courses listed after the calendar was printed and also details of the latest additions to all sections of the online directory including providers, longer courses and surveys open to public participation.
