Teaching fish to swim!
I briefly worked as a volunteer for Sussex Wildlife Trust on
Seaford Head after being made redundant, which inspired me to look towards a
new career; the ranger there ran an enthusiastic large group of volunteers, I
knew almost immediately this was something I wanted to do. I had no previous
ranger experience but that wasn’t going to stop me. I have always been a
confident person and willing to try anything at least once, what I was advised
at Plumpton College was that I had lots of transferrable skills from my past
career as a Shore Support for Seismic crews & vessels which was a start! Now
that I am a Countryside Ranger for West Sussex County Council, working with
volunteers, either individual or groups, my own experience of being on the
other side of the fence is invaluable.
