Conservation Ranger
The Role Conservation Rangers are very often the public face of the NPWS on conservation management, monitoring species and habitats, compliance, and dealing with the general public. The Conservation Ranger position is a full-time role and is challenging, diverse and rewarding. Conservation Rangers work as part of the NPWS regional team who are responsible for implementing nature policies and wildlife protection legislation throughout the country. Much of the Conservation Ranger's time is spent working in the field to assist in this goal. Conservation Rangers may be involved in a wide range of duties, depending on their assigned region, from monitoring and managing midlands or coastal habitats, to managing invasive species in National Parks and Nature Reserves. Duties such as enforcement of the Wildlife Acts and Birds and Habitat Regulations, and processing of Wildlife Licences, are common to all geographical locations that Conservation Rangers are posted to. Key Duties and Responsibilities: The key duties and responsibilities of the position may include the following: • Assisting in the management of the National Parks, Nature Reserves and other State lands for nature conservation and public amenity purposes; • Carrying out patrols of assigned areas (both foot/vehicle); • Collating and analysing data, report writing and maintaining records; • Managing and overseeing public access and use in National Parks, Nature Reserves and other State lands; • Supervision of works, including contracts; • Monitoring habitats, species and designated conservation areas and providing input into and making recommendations on the habitat and species management requirements of National Parks and Reserves and Natura Sites; • Assessing and advising on any environmental impacts from proposed developments or applications potentially affecting sites and compile reports and other data as required; • Liaising with a wide range of stakeholders including landowners, local community interests, the Gardaí and other relevant bodies on nature conservation matters; • Participating in habitat and wildlife surveys; • Promoting knowledge of nature conservation including arranging and participating in field trips and indoor and outdoor talks; • Making presentations to groups on conservation/legislation issues; • Assisting in the assessment of development applications, Activities Requiring Ministerial Consent (ARC) applications and wildlife licensing issues; • Overseeing, implementing, complying with and enforcing Wildlife Acts, 1976 and 2000, Convention on International Trade and Endangered Species, and the Birds and Habitats Directives; • Any other duties assigned by the NPWS from time to time as appropriate to the position. Please note that duties and workloads are set by the Divisional and Regional Management teams, can include unsocial hours and may vary depending on the location that Conservation Rangers are assigned, and in line with the priorities of NPWS. Working Environment Conservation Rangers are normally provided with office accommodation. Where office accommodation is not readily available it may be necessary to establish a home base. In this case, office equipment is provided and an office allowance is paid, subject to certain conditions. They will carry out mainly outdoor duties combined with office duties. Outdoor work may involve travel to various parts of the region on official duties. They may be assigned work in more than one work area of the NPWS, depending on seasonal and geographical and staffing requirements. Conservation Rangers work 39 hours, 5 over 7 day week and weekend attendance is required. The successful candidate will be eligible to apply for blended working arrangements in line with the business needs of the NPWS. Travel and subsistence will be paid in accordance with Civil Service regulations. Equipment Conservation Rangers will be required to travel within their assigned locations and will be given access to an official vehicle for official duties. They will also be supplied with the necessary protective clothing and communications equipment to enable them carry out their duties. Learning, Training and Development Upon commencement, Conservation Rangers will undertake induction training and on the job training will be provided. They may also attend general civil service courses such as communications, computer skills, Irish language training, etc., as necessary and appropriate. In-service training is provided in specific areas and refresher courses on a variety of relevant topics are held periodically. Vacancies and location of posts Conservation Rangers are engaged through regional structures within the NPWS and are deployed throughout the country, and areas of responsibility in line with Departmental business needs and priorities. Conservation Rangers are assigned by county, although their area of responsibility may occasionally overlap county boundaries therefore flexibility is required. When completing your application form, you are required to select a maximum of 2 of the locations from the list of 26 counties where you would be willing to be based as a Conservation Ranger. You are also required to number your location choices in order of preference. You should only select locations where you would be prepared to work if offered an appointment.
