Visit Hampstead Heath to discuss environmental careers with some of the staff, including conservation and environmental education.

About the session

If working outdoors in natural spaces interests you, visit Hampstead Heath to find out about some of the vast range of career opportunities in the environmental sector.

You’ll be hosted by the City of London’s natural environment learning team and will hear about their work. You’ll meet some of the members of the Heath’s conservation teams, to find out about the rewards and challenges of their jobs. We’ll also give you tips on getting into this vital area of work.

We’ll be mostly outdoors, so wrap up warm – but we can lend you wellies, fleeces and waterproofs if you need them.

Dress warmly.  Wear warm clothes and a waterproof coat if possible, with shoes that you don’t mind coming into contact with mud.  We can loan wellies, fleeces and coats if needed.

This session is designed for secondary and post-16.  The capacity is 20-30 students.  For any questions contact lcf@cityoflondon.gov.uk

Hampstead Heath Education Centre, NW5 1LT.  Exact meeting point to be communicated ahead of the day.

About London Careers Festival

The London Careers Festival is a free annual event that aims to inspire young Londoners, from primary to post-16, to consider Square Mile connected careers, particularly those who experience barriers to those careers.

Showing your ticket and confirming actual pupil numbers - You only need to show one QR code or booking confirmation and your lead teacher will be asked to confirm how many pupils are in attendance.

IMPORTANT – Photography and Filming Permissions

Attendance at the festival is acceptance of this requirement. Any individuals who cannot appear in promotional media must be managed by the school as festival staff will not be able to track this.
