A paid opportunity to launch your career in conservation, ecology and community action. This isn't just a job. It's your chance to help transform Blackpool into a greener, healthier and more climate resilient town while gaining the skills, experience and professional support to build a career in the environmental sector.
As part of the Blackpool GreenWave Partnership, you'll work alongside conservation professionals, ecologists and community specialists to improve parks, green spaces, habitats and neighbourhoods across the town.
You will receive mentoring, accredited training and real responsibility from day one, developing the confidence and experience employers across the environmental sector are looking for.
If you're passionate about nature, climate action and making places better for people, this could be the start of your career.
The Blackpool GreenWave Partnership brings together the voluntary sector, Local Authority, NHS, housing providers, colleges and businesses, all united by a vision of a healthier, greener Blackpool where nature thrives alongside our communities.
The GreenWave project is part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund's Nature Towns and Cities programme. It will deliver a 10-year Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) Strategy, designed to transform Blackpool's fragmented green spaces into a connected natural network. This includes parks, community gardens, schools, housing estates, our coastline and urban fringe - creating a framework that benefits both people and nature.
By tackling health inequalities, supporting biodiversity recovery, and embedding climate resilience across planning and regeneration, the project will ensure Blackpool is a healthier, more sustainable place to live, work and visit.
This role requires a clear DBS check.
