Knowing the far reaching knowledge & expertise of the STW community, I wonder if anyone could help.
A friends daughter is looking for job/internship opportunity anywhere in the UK or abroad.
She has a BSc in Zoology and MSc in Conservation Science & is looking for something in education/outreach, natural history, taxonomy or sustainable use of natural resources & has exhausted all avenues looking for paid work.
Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome, thanks in advance.
I know two people that have forged successful careers in the sector through internships at Earthwatch in Oxford.
Lots and lots and lots of voluntary work. By lots i'm meaning around a year.
Tell her to monitor the Voluntary Jobs section on Gumtree...I've seen a few conservation positions advertised there.
For example [url= http://www.gumtree.com/london/30/71256530.html ]this[/url] was posted today!

The jobs (down the road from me) in Sussex look like her best bet.
Thanks for the helpful ideas.

Hi try www.environmentjob.co.uk all the major charities advertise there and they advertise both paid and voluntary positions.
Just be aware that Natural England are about to release several hundred staff through their voluntary redundancy programme. I wouldn't want to be looking for a job in that sector in England for the next 10 years TBH.
