Eden Rivers Trust - summer Fisheries Assistant placement
Eden Rivers Trust have an opportunity available for work placement during Summer 2010 for a Seasonal Fisheries Assistant to assist with our electrofishing survey programme.
The placement is available from mid July to late September 2010 and is based in Penrith, Cumbria. Financial assistance may be available.
We would ideally prefer a student or graduate from an aquatic ecology or fisheries background, but enthusiasm, common sense and the ability to work closely with volunteers and landowners are equally important. A good level of physical fitness is required as is a full, clean, driving license. This is an excellent opportunity to gain training and experience in a specialised area of ecological monitoring: the postholders from 2008 and 2009 both went straight into permanent employment in the ecology sector.
More information on the Trust’s electrofishing programme is available at: http://trust.edenriverstrust.org.uk/electrofishing-history.html
For more information, please email rebbecca@edenriverstrust.org.uk or call 01768 866 788 and speak to Simon (Director) or Rebbecca (Fisheries Officer) – applications requested as CV by email please. We aim to interview during the week of May 24th.
