Vacancy: FE Wildlife Ranger

[Jon P]

In regards to the wages, if you already live in the area they are not to bad, but to relocate to an expensive area would be difficult. £31 k is prob the average wage around where I live, it not a bad area and no one still has a toilet down the bottom of the garden, so quite modern

Can you spell irony?

cuts both ways don’t you think….

 

[Rake Aboot]

Not really
I have no opinion on other people giving their opinion as you seem to.

A wise sage once told me as regards a keeper stalker stalker way of life or career “ did I realise at the end of this, for most there is nothing, maybe a grace and favour house (damp) if you are lucky” things a little different now but definitely a trade off , for those that choose to follow their star.

As a thought a vicars salary For Church of England is under £30k with house and god on your side. Amen.

And only works on a Sunday

Lot of unseen work with the choir and odd exorcism, not to mention the sherry, all perks of the job. Edit. Only imo.
Correction, no exorcism duties.

The lion-taming vicar who 'saved fallen women'

Harold Davidson, the rector of Stiffkey, led a double life - and one that ended tragically.Despite his duties to his parishioners, his wife and four children, he declared he had a mission to work among London's poor and rescue young girls he considered in danger of falling into a life of vice...

The biggest (??) landowner in the country....pays that? .... there are plenty of vicars (an uncle) paid substantially more- so at least they get incremental pay scales and promotions. Not sure they get taxed on it however.

Need to pay them enough to keep them out of mischief.

Indeed, the lord works in mysterious ways and fallen women must be saved and the wicked punished.

Surprised FE have not gone down the contractor route like FLS, which have reduced ranger numbers by around 50% or more in the past 20 years.

Too much public access probably the main reason

Was it omission of deer dog criteria ?

I wonder what FE will do when they are taken to court by somebody without a dog who didnt get a job offer and feels they are being discriminated against.

If it came with a cottage it would help

Only the New Forest rangers get a house now. The rest are long since sold

Unless they were already in I suppose as my neighbour is a ranger with a cottage

If you don't want a pay cut, don't apply for the job, unless it really means a lot to you to do it. Simples.
I'm speaking as someone who made a lifestyle choice when I was very young. I've never earned anything like the amount stated in that job advert (I'm 50 now), but I've thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of what I do. Had I made a choice based on income I would probably be in a very different place now, and not half so happy. Every business decision I've ever made has been based on how much enjoyment I'll get out of doing something, not how much money it'll make me.
I'm sure there are plenty of other hard-working folk out there with a similar mindset who'd love that job, regardless of the wage.

100% snap. I'm skint, but I bounce out of bed raring to go because I chose a job I love doing.

Called Keepers in the New Forest. There are a few exceptions including here in the North West of England.
