About the role

This role plays an important part in helping Plantlife operate sustainably, safely and efficiently. You will take ownership of the day to day coordination that keeps our sustainability, facilities and health & safety processes running smoothly. Your work will ensure colleagues have the information, support and practical arrangements they need to do their jobs well.

You will gather and organise sustainability data, keep key records up to date, coordinate routine office and H&S tasks, and act as a friendly, reliable point of contact for colleagues and suppliers. You’ll work closely with the Director of Finance & Resources and be supported by our external Health & Safety consultant for specialist matters.

This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who enjoys being at the heart of organisational operations — making things work well, solving practical problems, and contributing to a positive, sustainable working environment.

About you

You’ll bring strong organisational skills, a proactive approach, and an interest in sustainability and good workplace practice. You don’t need to be a specialist — just confident coordinating processes, keeping records up to date, and supporting colleagues with practical queries.

You’ll be comfortable working with suppliers, managing small contracts, and helping ensure our offices and systems run smoothly. You’ll also have an eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining safe working environments.

Hours of work: 21 hours per week (0.6 FTE) to be worked across 3 or 4 days.
