She said: “I am delighted that Little Green Change can be involved in this way, helping to inspire students to hopefully follow a career in the environmental sector.

“I remember how hard it was gaining experience at the start of my career, and I'm aware that schools often struggle to find enough in-person work experience placements for their students, so when I saw a recent news article featuring Sir John Colfox Academy calling for placements, I reached out.”

In addition to the work placements offered, Clare Matheson will also be delivering a 'careers in biodiversity' speaker talk at a number of schools, as part of National Careers Week from March, 4 to 9.
