We want to make sure everybody in the UK has the chance to plant a tree. Through our Free Trees for Schools and Communities programme, we have already given away over 13 million free trees to schools and community groups across the UK.
Our Lead Community Tree Supporter will use their management skills to play a key part in launching this new volunteer network, making a tangible difference to the way we mobilise volunteers for our cause. You will be responsible for supporting with the recruitment and training of our network volunteers, supervising the network in your local area, identifying opportunities for development and engagement, tracking activity of the volunteers, overseeing monitoring reporting and collating data and feedback to ensure the Trust are offering an impactful, meaningful, and cost-effective scheme.
Our Lead Volunteer roles often involve two days a week to fulfil, we are looking for someone that could potentially commit to the role for a minim of two years should the pilot be extended. Full training will be provided, and some travelling may be involved initially and during some support of volunteers in the pilot, though this role will mostly require home working online.
This role is part of a pilot running in from April - October 2024 targeting key areas across the East of England, including North Humberside, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. We hope to continue building this new network into the future. Interviews will be held in person in Grantham on 9th May. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
