What we do? Buccleuch is a diverse and innovative business with a passion for sustainable land use in rural Britain. We are dedicated to supporting the communities we live and work within, providing approximately 500 local jobs, respecting the environment, and contributing to rural culture through our heritage for generations to come. Our teams carefully manage complex economic, community and environmental considerations across a range of sectors, for the benefit of people and places.

The role? As Park Ranger you will work as part of the Parks & Woodlands Team to ensure a positive visitor experience for all. The core responsibility of this role is to ensure that the park and grounds are maintained to a high standard while conserving the natural heritage of our beautiful country park. In addition, you will play a part in educating our visitors and the wider community, including supervising volunteer groups. While most of the Ranger’s work will focus on the grounds and woodlands of Dalkeith Country Park, there will also be opportunities for involvement with wider park activities.

The person? With a passion for the countryside and demonstratable ground maintenance experience, you will enjoy interacting with a wide range of people. Ideally candidates will have some horticultural experience, knowledge of the wildlife and countryside act and ATV training, although full training will be given. Some weekend work is required. The successful candidate will be required to have a full UK driving licence, be able to carry out manual tasks, and demonstrate a commitment to working safely in accordance with our policies and practices.
