The Conservation Volunteers – The Community Volunteering Charity
Every day TCV works across the UK to create healthier and happier communities for everyone - communities where our activities have a lasting impact on people’s health, prospects and outdoor places.
About the role:
An opportunity has arisen for an exciting role to engage communities to shape green spaces in North Ayrshire and Glasgow.
North Ayrshire – Lochshore
North Ayrshire Council are working on a redevelopment of the former Glengarnock Steelworks site and TCV will be partnering with them to transform Lochshore into a parkland destination for the benefit of local communities and visitors alike.
Based on community consultation, we are looking for a senior project officer to provide health, volunteering and community engagement activities on the site as part of the transformation.
Glasgow - Queen Elizabeth University Hospital
We have an exciting partnership with the hospital based on newly established green infrastructure. The Senior Project Officer would use the development of the land itself to engage patients and staff in green health initiatives and develop new outdoor activities.
We are seeking high level organisational and facilitation skills, a creative approach coupled with a passion for engaging communities in local greenspaces. This is a great opportunity for an individual who wants to get stuck into two exciting new projects and make a real difference to people and the environment.
* A full driving licence is required for this role.
A bit more about us:
We recognise that each community and the people living there have different needs. Whether improving wellbeing, conserving a well-loved outdoor space or bringing people together to promote social cohesion and combat loneliness, TCV works together with communities to deliver practical solutions to the real life challenges they face.
For over 60 years we have adapted our work with volunteers to reflect the changing needs of communities in the UK and, by giving people a sense of purpose and belonging, we have empowered them to take control of their lives and outdoor spaces for the benefit of all.
Whilst our activities vary, our inclusive approach has remained consistent; bringing people and places together to create happy, healthy and connected communities for everyone.
