About Urban Roots
Urban Roots is a community-led environmental and health improvement charity based in the Southside of Glasgow. For over ten years we have worked alongside local residents and volunteers to establish and support a network of community gardens and woodlands. We also deliver healthy cooking programmes and outdoor learning and play activities for children and young people.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced and organised Volunteer Coordinator to lead on the recruitment, training, and ongoing support of volunteers across our community and environmental projects.
You will be responsible for managing volunteer enquiries, promoting volunteering opportunities, ensuring best practice in volunteer involvement, and supporting colleagues to work effectively with volunteers to deliver high-quality, inclusive programmes.
Strong experience in volunteer coordination is essential. Experience of working in the third sector and/or an interest in environmental or community-based work is highly desirable.
If you are passionate about people, inclusion, and making a positive difference in communities, we would love to hear from you.
