Work Experience 2026!

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 - 18 year olds

We have six places available in the week 15^th-21^st June 2026. Please complete the online form for a chance to participate. The deadline for applications is 31^st January, and if successful you will be invited to attend a 20 minute online informal interview where you will have the opportunity to further share why you want to take part and ask any questions. You will hear from us whether you have reached this stage by 6^th February. Good luck!
