Urban Roots is a thriving environmental and health improvement organisation. Over the past 11 years, we have worked with local residents and organisations across the Southside of Glasgow to deliver a broad programme of activities that improve the environment and support health and wellbeing.

During Summer 2019, Urban Roots ran the first ever ‘Branching Out for Women’ in Mall’s Mire Community Woodlands in Glasgow. The aim was to create a safe, supportive space for women who have experienced trauma to be able to enjoy the outdoors. This was so successful, with such positive feedback from the women who took part, that we knew we needed to continue running a women’s woodland group with a specific focus on mental health and wellbeing. And so ‘Women in the Woods’ was born.

Women in the Woods meet every Wednesday in Mall’s Mire, with a varied programme of activities shaped by what the women want to do.

We are seeking a female co-facilitator with experience of working with groups of adults outdoors, and a strong understanding of how mental health issues affect women’s lives, to support the programme in 2026-27. It is very important to us that our group is inclusive, welcoming and supportive to all women, and we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds.

Working with the current group leader, you will support and motivate the women through a programme of activities designed to build wellbeing, skills and confidence and to instil a sense of ownership and pride in the local environment. Example activities include campfire cooking, foraging, practical woodland conservation tasks, bushcraft, mindfulness activities, environmental art, photography, and wildlife surveys. You will also be expected to carry out recording of session activities and carry out monitoring and evaluation. Applicants must be available to work on Wednesdays.
