Work Experience 2027
We understand how important it is for young people to get work experience as they prepare for college, university and employment. Working for a Wildlife Trust offers variety and fulfilment, with many different roles from those on the ground delivering conservation and nature restoration projects to those behind the scenes in marketing and finance. Every role supports our vision, a wilder Herefordshire: More nature everywhere.
For 14 - 17 year olds
We are delighted to announce our work experience in 2027 will be
Monday 14th - Friday 18th June.
This is a fantastic opportunity to find out if working in conservation is something you'd like to do. It will be a practical week with most of the time spent on our nature reserves.
Here is what some of the students who attended in 2026 said about their week with us:
I really enjoyed the whole week. It gave me the opportunity to experience working on a reserve and how you can conserve the environment.
An amazing week. Enjoyed being outdoors a lot. 10/10 would do it again!
I really liked the group size as you got a chance to talk to everyone and properly get to know each other.
We have 7 spaces and last year had 18 young people apply so make sure your application stands out to be in with a chance.
To apply, please submit your application by 5pm on Friday 18th December 2026. Sadly any forms received after this date won't qualify. If successful you will be invited to a short online or in person interview in January. Good luck!

For 18 -25 year olds
If you are 18 – 25 and would like to gain some work experience, then you can sign up as a volunteer and current opportunities will be shared with you.
