We hold ourselves to high standards. We support one another, step up when it counts and always put young people first.

Mountains behind you, beach in front. This is where work, community and adventure come together. From sea cliffs to Cadair Idris, there’s always somewhere to explore and people to join you.

If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you.

• Interviews will be arranged for a date and time that is mutually convenient.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – your unique experience and perspective matter to us.

This role involves working closely with young people and requires a disclosure check. We'll handle that as part of the process.

Nature doesn’t discriminate. Neither do we.

We’re committed to making our recruitment process as fair and inclusive as possible. That means actively working to remove unconscious bias and the influence of privilege from our processes.

We also know how powerful it can be for young people to see themselves in the people around them. That’s why we encourage applications from individuals who reflect the diverse backgrounds and identities of the young people we work with. By building a team that young people can relate to, we can help more of them see what’s possible.

We endeavour not to discriminate based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marital status, being pregnant, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
