You need to be passionate about our living environment, dedicated to preserving nature and you must love working outdoors whatever the weather.
As a Ranger for the free access sites around Strangford Lough, you’ll help to maintain our countryside and coast, be a voice for nature and work with a like-minded team in an office that changes every day.

It is a physically demanding, outdoor job which can involve tasks as diverse as carrying heavy fence posts up hills, to working on our boats on the lough, to carefully walking over nest sites taking care not to disturb the seabirds.
