Help needed with projects
Calling all highly organised nature lovers! New Business Support Assistant role for the West Lakes… based anywhere!
The beautiful West Lakes NT Property is seeking some business support, part-time or full-time, to help us cover our responsibilities across the Wasdale, Wastwater and surrounding fells. For this role you’ll need to be organised, computer literate and interested in nature, conservation and farming. Due to the remote location of the West Lakes HQ (Wasdale), you’ll be working from any combination of the Wasdale office (occasionally), our wonderfully refurbished NT Lake District HQ in Grasmere (on the hill overlooking Grasmere), the purpose-built NT North Lakes HQ at Keswick, and your home (if appropriate), using a laptop and mobile phone.
Please contact [email protected] for more details and for an informal discussion.

Skateboards, scooters, BMX and basketball… with the NT in Egremont!
Do you fancy helping Egremont and Copeland local government to give young people an even better way to keep fit, channel their adrenaline, and learn about the natural environment surrounding where they live? If the answer’s yes, we’ve been approached to help reinvigorate a local skatepark, set in a beautiful part of Egremont, just round the corner from the castle and church. You’ll be working with the NT’s North Lakes General Manager to input NT expertise into an exciting project all about young people.
