NEXT Friday (February 3) is the dealine for applications for two forthcoming vacancies on the Yorkshire Coast's Spurn peninsula.
The role is to warden the longstanding colony of little terns on behalf of Spurn Bird Observatory.
An enhanced protection scheme has been in place since 2011 and in a number of recent years the colony has been one of the most successful in the north of England.
Says the job descrition: "Both vacancies offer a superb opportunity for an individual seeking a career in conservation to develop their skills and make a real difference to the conservation of one of our most threatened birds.
"The positions are suitable for someone with practical conservation experience, species protection experience, good communication skills and a basic knowledge of birds and monitoring.
"Experience of data recording and processing will be an advantage."
Because of nocturnal predators, it cautions: "Some night-time wardening will be necessary."
The contract will run from May 1 until late August (head warden) and June 1 until late August (assistant warden) and pay will be "at the going minimum rate".
Accommodation is available at the observatory for a small fee.
Applications need to be received by 12pm on Friday February3.
