Parks Victoria

At Parks I was being a volunteer campground host.  This meant I had to hike to my workplace and stay at a remote campsite for two weeks.  At this place I was to clean up the facilities there and help hikers and people staying at this site.  I worked on site at a place with a forest and a beach, this is the most BEAUTIFUL place I have ever seen and my time off well spent.  The people liaising from Parks to me were great, I had an induction lots of instruction and they were so helpful and polite the staff went out of their way to look after me.  I think there is some chance that this could make applying for a job with Parks easier, I would be more likely to be accepted.

Parks Victoria is a great place if you land the right team, that can make our break your experience. I managed to have a few good managers in my time and some toxic masculine cultures. Great thing was being able to move from team to team as opportunities came up so I was never stuck with a bad bunch. The new ceo gives me hope for change. Most rangers start on 59000 but that should change soon 

A learning curve in connecting with People and Nature; vibrant discovery of parks and natural sceneries in Victoria State and an enriched experience of cultural diversity and making a positive change in the lifestyle of Individuals/those in needs.

While working under constant pressure from many competing priorities, difficult environmental challenges and with minimal resources, Parks is an organisation full of passionate people who work tirelessly to protect and promote Victoria's natural environment.

A very supportive and relaxed organisational culture. I enjoyed travelling with team members to Parks Victoria areas for service assesments and work health & safety surveys & reviews. A very relaxed administrative office relations.

Typical day would entail friendly faces. Everyone who works there aimed to work so which means the people are happy to work. Lot skills to take out of it once you leave. I still use the skills that I've learnt

Prescribed burns were needed 
Patrols of river bends, Murray Sunset and camp areas.
Maintain equipment, vehicles and machinery.
Pest management in areas of need.

Good organisation to work for. Good culture. employees are happy to work there. Collaborative approach from management. Most enjoyable part of the job is an opportunity to make a difference.

Though this is just a short term, part time job - I was able to enhance my data entry skill, accuracy and attention to details.  Developed working on own and meeting deadlines.
