Looking for a challenge

[LeeOulton]

Hi all,

 

Im currently looking for a new challenge in life by moving onto a different aspect of Arboriculture.

 

I am currently employed full time as a groundsman for a local well know tree surgeon.

I have worked there for 2 years and around 7 months with another firm.

 

So far I have only gained Lantra Chainsaws & Felling Small Trees and Lantra Woodchipper Operations - I have no climbing experience.

 

In september this year, I am leaving my full time employer to study the BTEC National Award in Forestry & Arboriculture (NAFA) at Reaseheath College and The Forest classroom at Delamere. During this time I will gain the NPTC chainsaw tickets and also NPTC Aerial Rescue. other tickets may be available such as spraying/tractor driving...

This course will run 2 days per week (thurs/fri) and I would like to find employment to fit around these days, giving time to study on days away from college too.

 

I enjoy outdoor work and working with trees etc.. I would consider any type of employment which may be on offer to me.

 

My only let down is that I do not drive, Saving up for a test at moment!!

Looking for work in the Cheshire area providing it is in easy access via other methods of transport (public,bike etc..)

I currently live in Sandiway nr Cuddington, Northwich.

 

I look forward to hearing from anyone who may have some information for me.

 

 

Regards
