Trainee Reserve Officer
Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust
The Volunteer Trainee Reserves Officer (VTRO) will work with the Western Reserves Team, and the wider Conservation Team, to contribute to the management of the Trust’s nature reserve estate, particularly focusing on the 23 reserves to the west of the two counties. Starting in late August/September 2025, the placement will run for 12 months, with a minimum commitment of 6 months, working variable hours (though typically 8am-4pm) over 5 days per week and based at our main office near Leicester City Centre.
This is an unsalaried, volunteer training placement for which the Trust will provide £428 per month contribution towards living costs, as well as a training allowance and appropriate personal protective equipment. Those needing to acquire their own accommodation in order to undertake the role will also be eligible for a £300 per month additional supplement.
