IT'S a job for people with a taste for history or the great outdoors.
And vacancies are available.
The National Trust is appealing for volunteers to sign up for three-year training apprenticeships for wardens and gardeners.
David Finnis, the trust's property manager at Marsden Moor, said: "The apprenticeship is a very good training scheme.
"It leads to NVQ Levels 2 and 3 in environmental conservation and eventually to an advanced modern apprenticeship qualification."
Throughout the three-year training the National Trust pays an annual salary of £8,565.
About 10 weeks a year will be spent at Bicton College in Devon. People living away from home will be expected to find their own accommodation.
A temporary staff card will be issued at the start of employment. It gives free admission to all trust properties.
School-leavers will need to have GCSE qualifications at grade C or above in English, maths, a science and one other academic subject.
The posts are also open to mature people seeking a career change who possess equivalent or non- related educational qualifications.
They may also have some knowledge or experience of gardening or countryside management gained through hobbies, work or volunteering.
