Job Description

Working with the England & Wales Wildfire Forum, we are determined - with your help - to be a voice for education and prevention of wildfires to project our wildlife and landscapes. This role is open to applicants from across the whole of the UK.

Recent years have seen some of the most significant wildfire seasons on record, with extreme heat and dry conditions leading to major incidents across England and Wales. Sadly, many wildfires are caused by human activity, making education and awareness vital in reducing their impact on wildlife, woodland habitats and local communities.

Make a difference to protecting trees and wildlife in your local area. Help us realise this by becoming a Wildfire Prevention Ambassador.

As a volunteer, you'll deliver talks and or activities to any school, college, club or workplace you are involved in with the aim of helping prevent the starting of wildfires.

Wildfires in the UK can have devastating consequences for wildlife, habitats, infrastructure and people. And thanks to climate change, the risk is increasing. You'll receive all the material on wildfires, as well as coaching in how to deliver engaging public talks. All you need is the desire to make a difference!

This role is open to 14-25 year olds. Please contact us to discuss any additional support or adjustments you may need to complete your application.

This role is made possible with support from the NHLF.
