Apprentice Business Administrator Level 3

You may think that the park is all about working outside in ranger roles, but the importance of these supporting roles cannot be overlooked. The rangers interact directly with the public in the park – they guide walks, give talks and generally ensure the park is a good place to visit; but from our head office in Midhurst the support teams make sure the public know what we do, develop sustainable tourism across the park, make sure we pay our bills, pay our staff, plan future work programmes etc. It’s a real team effort – and a good training ground for anyone interested in nature and the environment.
