About the role
Green Angels is the Land Trust's trademarked environmental training initiative, which has been running successfully since 2019. The programme demonstrates the value and importance of the Land Trust's charitable objectives by empowering communities through environmental education, practical conservation skills and volunteer engagement.
Now and into the future, the project's focus remains firmly on community engagement, delivering practical environmental training opportunities and regular community activities that encourage people to connect with, care for and enhance their local green spaces.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop and grow a thriving project based at a beautiful nature reserve that has recently been awarded Local Wildlife Site status. You will work closely with the site's Managing Partner, Groundwork West Midlands, as well as a range of stakeholders and training providers, to promote and deliver the Green Angels programme.
Key responsibilities include programme and activity planning, trainee recruitment, participant welfare, and project monitoring and evaluation. Social media also plays a vital role in promoting the project and engaging local communities, so strong digital communication skills and experience managing social media channels are essential.
You will work closely with the Land Trust's Communications Team and the wider Green Angels team to ensure that brand guidelines, key messages and visual identity are consistently applied across all promotional platforms.
The successful candidate will be highly organised, with excellent time management skills and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Above all, you will have a genuine passion for supporting local communities and inspiring, greater involvement in the natural environment.
The post holder will report to the Green Angels Project Manager and work closely with colleagues across the Land Trust, particularly within the Estates, Communications and Finance teams, to support the successful delivery and ongoing development of the programme.
In return, we offer a generous holiday allowance, pension contributions, life insurance, flexible and hybrid working, wellbeing support, a healthcare cashback scheme, family-friendly leave, and training and development opportunities.
