Since 2020, the River and Valley Guardians have patrolled local rivers, assisting river managers by monitoring and eradicating illegal activities within river zones. This year, their roles will include river monitoring and patrolling, managing disaster risk factors and illegal issues, and maintaining the river environment. Additionally, they will help visitors access and enjoy the rivers and valleys more easily and install promotional materials to prevent illegal activities.

This year, 108 personnel will be hired across 22 cities and counties, including Anyang City, which is hiring River and Valley Guardians for the first time, and Gyeonggi Province will hire one person to oversee them all.

Any resident of the relevant area aged between 20 and under 65, who is physically healthy and capable of outdoor activities, can apply. Women with career interruptions, youth unemployed, and low-income groups registered at the Gyeonggi Employment Center will receive additional points during the interview process. The employment type is fixed-term contract, with the activity period from March to October this year. Compensation will be based on the 2025 Gyeonggi Province living wage (hourly wage of 12,152 KRW).

The application period for Gyeonggi Province recruitment is until the 24th, and city and county recruitments are planned to be completed by February. For detailed information on recruitment procedures and schedules, please refer to the recruitment announcements on the websites of Gyeonggi Province and each city and county.

Lee Yong-won, Director of the Gyeonggi Province River Division, said, “The River and Valley Guardian project will eradicate illegal activities in rivers and valleys and create public jobs. We hope many residents will apply again this year to help prevent the recurrence of illegal activities in rivers.”
