The Edge Hill Careers team are looking for an environmentally minded individual to become the campuses first-ever Wildlife Usher. Your job will be to follow the wildlife on campus and ensure their undisturbed travels. You will need to be adaptable and able to work in all weathers. One day you could be helping a hedgehog cross the Boulevard, the next you may be dissuading a goose eating a leftover Subway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are open during the Sustainability Festival, from Monday 1st until Friday 5th November. Apply in 280 characters or less by tweeting @ehucareers<\/span>, replying to the post pinned on their Twitter, emailing careers@edgehill.ac.uk<\/span><\/a> or at their stall in the Hub Thursday 4th November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(This is a joke position and just for the fun of the Festival \u2013 but Careers will gift a \u00a310 Protect the Planet<\/span><\/a> gift voucher to their favourite!)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
