Hyndburn is an attractive area set in the heart of Pennine Lancashire, within easy reach of Manchester, the lakes and the Coast. The Borough, comprised of Accrington and the surrounding Market Towns, is currently experiencing unprecedented levels of regeneration which is delivering real and substantial improvements to the quality of life in the area.
An opportunity has arisen for a committed and enthusiastic person to work as arboriculture and conservation officer for Hyndburn Borough Council. Based within the parks team, this is a joint role which means the successful candidate will work with planning colleagues approximately one day per week to determine the tree element of planning applications and TPO’s, and the rest of the week managing the Councils tree stock in parks and open spaces.
You will have a qualification in arboriculture and 3 years experience working in arboriculture in either the public or private sector. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work within an award-winning parks team with 11 green flag parks (the most for a local authority in Lancashire) and deal with a wide range of arboriculture work. This is a varied role, but as Hyndburn is a small authority, easily manageable for the right person
If you are passionate about delivering results as we are, and if you want a job where you can be part of a team that’s making a real difference, we’d like to hear from you.
