Training in Scotland’s National Parks

Environmental Conservation is at the heart of The Mountains and The People project and therefore we are excited to be able to offer a range of paid, 6 month training opportunities at both our Balloch and Aboyne training centres.

Delivered by the Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland who have a proven track record of delivering high quality, accredited, employment based training, candidates will be offered the opportunity to complete an SVQ level 2 or above in Environmental Conservation.

Our next trainee intake will start in April 2018 and will be based in Balloch working in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. We will be starting the recruitment process for the trainees at the end of January / beginning of February. Applications will be open during February, then the shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an interview in March. Trainees will begin the 6 month programme on 23rd April 2018. There are 8 places available. The website will be updated with all the information about the application process and the role description etc.
