A Meet the CJS Team
post: April is National Pet Month.
When thinking of pets horses don’t always come straight to
mind, but despite their long history of being working animals, many consider
them as much a part of their family as others see their dogs. In our Meet the
Team article we hear from our sub-editor Tracey who tells us all about her
burning childhood passion for ponies that grew into an adult respect and love
for all horses and their care. From a show jumping obsession to equine behaviour
and enrichment devotion, read about her love for horses. [more]
Another fabulous article from our Featured Charity: The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES).
Calling all survey
volunteers. The lengthening days announce the start of People’s Trust for Endangered
Species’ survey season. This time of year offers the chance for people across
the UK to get involved in conservation by looking for endearing yet elusive
water voles, and surveying one of our most familiar habitats, hedgerows. [more]
The winners of the British
Wildlife Photography Awards 2023 have been unveiled. An image of a red
fox moving through a woodland, destroyed to make way for an industrial site, has
taken the top prize in this prestigious award. Countryside Jobs Service is
delighted to have been connected with the Awards since its launch in 2009. We
are an official supporter of the awards, sponsoring the Botanical Britain
category in the 2023 and 2024 competitions. [more]

year here at CJS and I'm sure you're incredibly busy too, we hope we can make
your life a little less fraught and simplify your recruitment. Two years ago we
refocused CJS to put Jobs back at heart of all we
do and looking at the numbers of adverts and your lovely responses
and testimonials it's been a much appreciated change in approach. [more]
