As I'm sure you can imagine CJS receives many enquiries about working in the countryside / outdoors / with animals from young people deciding on a career path but also quite a number from people looking to change career. Since Covid we've received many more enquiries from career changers some simply dreaming of a better life and others who have been inspired to a job where they can make a difference.
To help guide all our keen new recruits we want to gather as much information as possible in one place to make it easier to understand what's really involved in the newly picked "dream job". We're asking if you would complete a job profile questionnaire about your working life, we'll publish what we receive*; you can choose to be identified on the published profile or to remain anonymous.
Whilst CJS doesn’t want to turn away any genuine potential countryside workers we do want people to know it's not all sunshine and roses and in so doing perhaps help organisations from receiving speculative enquiries and make sure the recruiter's task is made easier by ensuring they receive only relevant applications from suitable candidates who have done their homework and know exactly what it is they're looking at and applying for.
If you would like to help us out and send us details of your job please download the word document questionnaire from here. Any questions please contact Amy on amy@countryside-jobs.com, this is also where to send your completed questionnaire.
We're looking for any and all countryside jobs, ranger to reception, ecologists to educators and all points in between.
