| Summary: | I now have over ten years postgraduate experience in countryside management.
Unfortunately, due to a flair-up of tendonitis in my wrists whilst chainsawing last year, a hand specialist recommended that I should avoid exposing myself to excessive periods of heavy manual work. Therefore my previous employer decided that I was no longer able to carry out my full range of duties and gave me a capability payment in December 2009.
Therefore, I am now looking for work with less emphasis on practical habitat management. Taking my experience and transferable skills into account, I consider myself suitable for fields of work such as environmental education, people engagement, ecology, Rights of Way, or training. However, I am quite flexible and am interested in all aspects of countryside management, conservation and environmental work.
