Seeking unpaid work experience - East midlands

[MaximusExcelsior]

Good Morning everybody,

 

Cheers for taking the time to look at my post.

 

My name is Max Lawless and I am a 23 year old about to start a National Diploma in Forestry &*Arboriculture at Broomfield college in Derby. I am looking to see if anyone in or around the east midlands - preferably Derby but I'm willing to travel within reason! So far I have emailed all of the local tree surgey companies I can find, also local woodlands, and the local council arborist team.

 

I have worked in an office environment for the last 3 years and have now realised that my skills and*attributes*would be best lent to a more challenging and physically demanding industry. Arboriculture & Tree Surgery is something that I have always taken a keen interest in, over the last year I have been researching and reading up on the subject to prepare myself for my college course. However, I understand there is only so much I can learn from an academic environment so I am eager to gain on the job experience before/during the course.

 

Over the next year I am looking to secure some work experience within the Derby/East Midlands area. My experience as a gas plumbing apprentice and familiarity with*laboring*tasks within a construction site means that I am comfortable with physical labor and working both within a team and individually. I am fit, reliable, and I feel with my*enthusiasm I am able to approach any task with confidence.*I am willing to undertake all tasks that are asked of me and am not afraid of a hard days graft. I also hold a full, clean UK drivers licence.

 

I am seeking unpaid practical experience but also any advice and direction in the field would be greatly appreciated. I am*available*to*work most weekends and occasionally evenings as unfortunately I'm at work Monday through to Friday but I'd be happy to book holiday off work If I can to go out for a day . Please feel free to contact me on my details below if you can provide any guidance.
