An opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Ranger within the Parks and Countryside Team. Wharton Park is a 19th century park located just outside Durham City centre. Following a Heritage Lottery funded restoration in 2016 the park now offers a heritage centre with education room and café along with green gym, play areas, miniature car track and putting green which you will assist in managing as part of this role. Wharton Park’s opening hours range from 09:00 – 19:00 and work on a seasonal rota. You will be required to undertake all aspects of park and countryside management. This includes site inspections, routine practical maintenance, assisting volunteers and alongside education sessions and events ensuring a positive profile of Durham County Council’s Parks and Countryside
