This is an exciting opportunity to work in the spectacular Abernethy Reserve to help protect
the wild and fragile Cairngorm Plateau, including Ben Macdui – the UK’s second highest peak.
This wild, arctic landscape is home to sensitive species such as dotterel and snow bunting and
is under increasing pressure from visitors.
What’s the role about?
This role involves being a friendly face and the eyes and ears on the ground, chatting to
visitors and patrolling the plateau to ensure responsible access in line with the Scottish
Outdoor Access Code (SOAC). Access to nature and wild places is vitally important for mental
and physical wellbeing, but the challenge of looking after those places is increasing.
We are looking for a reliable, responsible Ranger with proven mountain experience and excellent
people skills to patrol the plateau over the summer season. Working in all weathers, the main
part of your role will be patrolling key footpaths, engaging with visitors and ensuring they
are accessing and enjoying the nature reserve responsibly. Using strong communication skills,
you will strive to ensure every visitor you meet has a positive experience of this unique and
special area whilst also understanding what responsible access is and why it is so important.
There will be a focus on preventing disturbance to vulnerable breeding birds.
You will be working with the visitor team to ensure a comprehensive Ranger presence in the
mountains and wider reserve during busy periods and at times of high fire risk. This role will
involve regular weekend and evening working. The ideal candidates will be familiar with the
mountain environment, have strong communication skills, be able to work independently and use
their initiative – if that’s you we’d love to hear from you!
