Our Locations
Our field centres have been selected with great care to ensure the right setting and environment to encourage learning. Each has its own particular attraction: many are historic buildings set in stunning landscapes with rich and diverse natural environments right on the doorstep. You too could benefit from working in such an environment: whether your interests are activity based, focussed on the natural world, or simply sitting admiring the view, there is a field centre that will appeal to you.
Free Parking
As an environmental charity, we encourage our employees to limit car use where possible e.g. by car sharing, cycling or using public transport, however, we recognise that this is not always practicable and so offer free parking at the majority of our locations.
Free Tea/Coffee
Free tea and coffee is provided at the majority of our locations. There also tends to be an abundance of cake at our residential field centres, and we have even published a fold-out identification chart to celebrate our strong tradition of cakes and share tried and tested recipes from our field centres all over the UK!
Discounts
Discounts from certain retailers are available for staff from time to time, please ask for details when you join us.
We offer all of our staff a 30% discount when staying at our locations or booking onto leisure courses.
I’m part of the hospitality team for long as 10 years. I have loved making all our visitors stays more enjoyable through serving them tasty food and clean and comfortable accommodation.
