Lead Trees for All Champion, WOODLAND TRUST

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 17 million free trees to schools and community groups across the UK.

Our Lead Trees for All Champion 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 minimum of two years. Full training will be provided, and some travelling may be involved initially and during some support of new network volunteers, though this role will mostly require home working online.

To achieve our vision of a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature, we need to better reflect society and the communities we work in. All people, no matter their background, identity, ability, or circumstance, should benefit from trees. People of colour and disabled people are currently under-represented across the environment and conservation sector. If you identify as a person of colour and/or disabled, we particularly encourage you to apply.
