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.

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.

Because here, it all comes down to helping people: customers, colleagues, communities. If you’re warm and welcoming, you’ll fit right in with our caring, friendly bunch. It all adds up to a role where you can do good, and feel good, while enjoying great flexibility. Let’s make every day a little better.

These include but aren’t limited to: About us Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer’s favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move. Our core purpose is “Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day”. Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of, and for the planet. Through initiatives like the Tesco Community Fund, our association with Children’s Health Foundation, our partnership with FoodCloud and our Stronger Starts programme, we have supported over 21,000 community groups, raised over €7.5 million for medical equipment, and provided almost 15 million meals nationwide, to those living in food insecurity.

Tesco is the single largest buyer of Irish food and drink in the world, buying €1.6 Billion a year; more than any other single country in the European Union, more than even the USA which you perceive as a massive buyer of Irish food. We work closely with suppliers across Ireland who are dedicated to making the best products for our customers and this is reflected in the numerous awards our products have won over the years including Blás Na hÉireann, World Steak Challenge and Great Taste Awards.

We always want our colleagues to feel they can be themselves at work and we are committed to helping them be at their best. We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support. Tesco is committed to celebrating diversity and everyone is welcome at Tesco.
