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.

I am currently perusing a future employment opportunity in furthering my career after college. I am therefore writing to you to ask if you have any positions vacant that will help me advance towards my goal of becoming an estate manager.

I am polite, conscientious and have good communication and IT skills. Overall I have an excellent attitude and high personal expectations in all I do.

I am looking for an opportunity for work based training that will lead to a change of career for me into Environmental Conservation Management.

As well as the course below I also do volunteer work for British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) and I also work as part of the South Downs Volunteer Ranger Service.

I am currently doing a Plumpton College/BTCV Environmental Conservation NVQ Level 2 with Chainsaw Training Course two-days a week.

I like to believe that throughout my career I have shown dedication, support, loyalty and commitment to colleagues and those that have employed or used my services. I am extremely hard working and eager to learn new skills and would be delighted to hear from any organisation that is willing to give me this opportunity in any of the areas listed in the chosen career section.

I look forward to hearing from you.

- Communicating scientific idea to people with non-scientific backgrounds

- Team work within a dedicated group

- Advising policy on ecological issues e.g. designation of SACs or MPAs

- Conservation of important habitats and/ or species

- Liaison with stakeholders and colleagues

With Breakthrough Breast Cancer my main focus is fund raising, but also raising awareness, campaign management and advocacy.

My involvement with the Dorset Wildlife Trust is actual hands on conservation work, coppicing and scrub clearance, which links in with my desire to get back to working within horticulture, animal husbandry or a related environment.

I feel the skills that I have acquired whilst working within the voluntary sector and employment within horticulture and agriculture would be an asset to my chosen employer.

I am currently studying a City & Guilds in horticulture

My MSc has taught me the importance of rigorous scientific inquiry and my field experience has given me the practical edge to follow that through.

In short I am ready, able and willing to complete any tasks which is put in front of me in this my chosen field.

I am interested in working within the Water and Environment sector, more specifically Water management. I believe a role within this sector would utilise the knowledge and skills I have gained through both of my courses and my personal attributes.

I have six years experience into nature conservation, this includes both biological and geological conservation. But also work in site maintenance.

My goal is to work in animal welfare and conservation combined, and eventually i aim to work in africa with big cats, that is my ultimate passion. I have experience with farmstock, domestic and exotic animals, but have not yet been able to fully gain hands on experience with wild uk animals. I will be volunteering at the RSPCA centre in leicester over the summer which will give me more valuable experience.

I am looking for the kick i will need after finishing my degree in 2011, and would appreciate any advice or offers avaliable, thank you, Kezza Cat!!!

Having worked in management positions in various business sectors, I now wish to have a change in career, with a focus on using my skills for the good of the environment or charity, and not merely for profit orientated business.

I grew up in the Trossachs and as such have always had a passion for the countryside, and am now at a stage where I would like to spend less time office based, and perhaps have a more active role in a countryside based job.

I have attached herewith my CV for your perusal, and should you require any futher information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
