- 4 days per week
- Up to £75 per week living expenses paid
- NVQ level 2 in Environmental Conservation or other accreditation

All placements are given full training to become involved in delivering educational activities at Skelton Grange Environment Centre for schoolchildren, and have the opportunity to get involved in all areas of our work.
