Thank you for your interest in this role with the Field Studies Council. FSC is one of four partners who together are delivering Growing Confidence (GC) in Shropshire. The project aims to grow the confidence of young people aged 11-25 yrs to engage with their local environment, progressing their knowledge and skills to a level that meets their abilities and expectations. This is being achieved through developing their skills and knowledge and presenting opportunities which open up new ideas and aspirations. By taking part in the project over 1000 young people will gain confidence to create change in their local environment.

The project partners are Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT), Fordhall Community Land Initiative (FCLI), Field Studies Council (FSC) and The Plunkett Foundation (PF). Each organisation has a unique role to play and the project has a clear Shropshire focus. These partners want the ethos of social enterprise to permeate the whole programme and try to ensure every young person has the opportunity to learn about social enterprise and how it might be a career option. Building wider awareness of environmental careers is also integral to the project. This project recognises the strengths of each of the partner organisations and in addition to supporting and developing young people the project aims to strengthen each organisations offer to young people for the future. This means building strong and sustainable systems to keep young people’s needs at the heart of each organisation.
