Further Information
The North Pennines AONB Partnership is the management body for the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and UNESCO Global Geopark. We are currently offering a training opportunity in geoheritage interpretation and education that would enable you to work with skilled professionals from our team and colleagues from partner organisations.

We are looking for a determined and enthusiastic Earth Science graduate who wants to develop their potential for a career in the geoheritage field.

The work will be based in our office in Stanhope, Weardale and Bowlees Visitor Centre, Teesdale, County Durham and/or home working as necessary, but including travel across the whole area. This is a full time fixed-term post until October 2021, working a 37 hour week.

The successful candidate will be self-employed. Bursary payments equate to the hourly rate of the living wage determined by Durham County Council, however, as it is a training payment, there are no sickness or holiday payments and it is not taxable. Bursary payments will be made fortnightly in arrears on receipt of a timesheet and subject to satisfactory progress. If successful, you will need to register as self-employed and obtain appropriate public liability insurance.
