Great place to work, I was there for a while on a job placement through DEFRA, although not quite on the tree side of things, ended up selling Christmas trees and servicing the dog poo bins around the place. Not ideal but at least I can put worked at Westonbirt on the old CV:laugh1:

I applied last time it was advertised about 2years ago. Would be a cracking job.

I've applied. Right where I want to move to. I'd want it to be a realistic "trainee" position, though... Is the forestry comission up for sponsoring NPTC certs or other major/minor trainings?

Yes there suppose to be a very good employer look after the staff in many ways.

 

unfortuantley to far for me to move to

That could be just what your looking for mate! Location is spot on where you described!

 

Great place to work and yes they take training very seriously. Only thing I would say though is that they don't work at industry speeds so don't get too comfortable there and then try and move into "real world" tree work.

Sweet as sweet can be, Rupe. I'll give them a bell tomorrow morning (afternoon) and hopefully hear some news on their choosing process. .speaking of which, I've planned on just calling the edinborough number to contact the forestry comission. Is there a better number to call? Or who can I contact who might actually know who I need to talk to?

 

it seems that bigger UK employers have something against posting direct business contact details. I mean, 'you DO have a hiring manager, right? Ok, good. so, do they have their own office? Good! so their direct phone line is...?' <click> No such luck.

 

There's another post based on this job advert:

for all others interested.

 

Thanks everyone for the help and info!

Basically you just need to go on line and fill out the form if the job is still on offer. The people i email weren`t that helpful and just told me to fill out the form.

 

Good Luck.
