Assistant Ranger

Why Us?

It’s time to join West Lancs as we embark on delivering our new and ambitious Vision and
Priorities. With a focus on environmental sustainability, generating economic prosperity,
building inclusive & healthy communities and financial resilience, we are looking for
exceptional candidates to help shape our future. You will be joining an organisation that puts
its customers first, takes responsibility and works together with a can-do attitude, all while
challenging the status quo to deliver exceptional outcomes for our communities.

Our Parks and Countryside Service manages 16 sites across West Lancashire, operating from
Beacon Country Park in Up Holland. Our team handles patrols, repairs, woodland management, site
developments, and wildlife conservation. We also run a full events program, collaborate with
volunteers and friends groups, develop and deliver educational sessions, apply for grant
funding, manage projects, and engage with the local community to promote the wellbeing benefits
of greenspaces.

Your Role

We are looking for someone to assist with routine maintenance and repairs at both Ranger
Service managed sites and other greenspaces across the borough. While some tasks will be
performed independently, you will also work as part of a dedicated team, supporting volunteer
sessions, events, education programs, and greenspace improvement projects.

About You

If you can perform a variety of practical maintenance tasks in all weather conditions, have a
background in landscape management, hold a full UK driving licence, and can interact with the
public and volunteers in a friendly and professional manner, we want to hear from you.

What’s in it for you?

We pride ourselves on our friendliness and being a good employer with a range of benefits and
employment terms and conditions to suit you. A competitive salary and annual leave entitlement,
flexible working, a generous employer pension contribution scheme, work life balance policies,
and support for your personal development are just some of the benefits we offer.

If you are eager to be part of a transformative journey and make a tangible impact, West
Lancashire Borough Council welcomes your application.
