What it’s like to work here
A moorland plateau topped by a jumble of fantastically shaped rocks, Brimham Rocks can’t fail to delight and inspire.
The Idol, the Bear and the Druid’s writing desk are just some of the imaginative names granted to these amazing geological creations and visitors today travel from near and far to explore nature’s ultimate playground.
Home to rare species of heather and with a moorland habitat that supports a wide variety of wildlife, Brimham sits within the spectacular countryside of Nidderdale.
You’ll be reporting to the Senior Programming and Partnerships Officer, working in a wider team of countryside rangers, business services, facilities, welcome and food and beverage teams and operations manager. You’ll be based at Brimham House overlooking the rocks and moorland.
