Handing on Skills for the Future

Skills for the Future: Apprenticeships in the Westmorland Dales If you would like to get a job working outdoors in the countryside, while gaining a vocational qualification, this may be the opportunity for you. This apprenticeship will provide you with the chance to develop a wide range of skills in countryside management, plus a Level 2 Countryside Worker Apprenticeship.

Recruitment is underway for four countryside worker apprentices. This opportunity has been created as part of the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Scheme, grant funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The 18 month apprenticeships will be based with the team at Tebay. Apprentices will learn countryside skills and put them to use on a variety of access and conservation projects within the Westmorland Dales, linking with partners and parishes to reveal, conserve and celebrate the hidden heritage of the area. Former apprentices Abbi, Billy, Rebekah and Sarah (pictured) earned themselves level two countryside worker qualifications and have achieved qualifications in skills such as chainsaw, quad bike, strimmer and first aid. This has been alongside work based experience on a wide range of projects; everything from fencing to archaeological surveys and just about everything in between. Belinda Lloyd, apprentice supervisor said,

This is a fully supervised work-based learning opportunity. It will consist of training and assessment within the workplace, supported by off-site training and college residential placements. Qualification is achieved by passing end point practical and theory exams. The ‘Skills for the Future’ project is part of the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Scheme - a programme grant-funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which aims to reveal, conserve and celebrate the hidden heritage of the area that became part of the extended National Park in 2016.

“As part of the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Scheme I’m delighted to have the chance to hand on my skills to four more budding Rangers. Apprentices can look forward to a varied and rewarding experience; everything from drystone walling to wildflower identification. “It’s an amazing opportunity to develop practical skills, earn certification and gain a level two countryside worker qualification. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and would encourage anyone interested in a countryside career to apply for this fantastic opportunity.” If you’re interested in the Apprentice role, visit the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority website where you’ll find more information and application details: www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/vacancies
