Work Experience

Warwickshire Wildife Trust offers work experience for students of all ages and abilities. Students will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience in many different aspects of the work the Trust carries out including practical management, environmental education and retail.

Some testimonials from students who have spent their work experience with us:

Benedict Everitt, Lawrence Sheriff School, 1st - 5th February 2010

'Work Experience is designed to give an aspiring student a chance to face the reality of future jobs that she or he may wish themselves to have. I was unsure of what I wanted my future occupation to be, so when Brandon Marsh accepted me for a week of Work Experience, I don't think the wealth of experiences I had could have been better.

In the space of one week, I was tested in such roles as teacher, office-worker, receptionist, conservationist, lumberjack, nature surveyor and waiter-cum-cook. All were riveting experiences, with nay a moment of boredom throughout the entire week. They took place in some beautiful environments, from the conference room at the visitor centre, to local reserves to the stunning Brandon Marsh itself.

But of course, the jobs were nothing without the people who supervised them; all roles saw me working with the most amazing people, all of whom were totally dedicated, friendly and helpful, which further improved the experience.

My placement was all I could have hoped for and more: a wonderful environment great people and incredible diversity in jobs. I couldn't have hoped for more.

For students who love the outdoors and nature, are prepared to get dirty, like doing different things and meeting new people, then take my word for it, this is the work experience placement for you.

I would like to thank all of the amazing Brandon Marsh staff for making my week so enjoyable, and I advise anyone to do or tell someone about this great placement.'

Isobel Bentley, Kenilworth School and Sports College, 19th - 23rd October 2009

'I was eager to do something Geography related for my Work Experience. I had visited Brandon Marsh several times so I thought it would be a really interesting place to do a week's worth of work experience. I certainly made the right decision and had a very enjoyable, busy, week. I was nervous, as anyone would be, but the people at the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust were really welcoming and got me involved in so much during the week:
