Purpose of role: The Volunteering Officer will work with the Chief Executive and the wider team to encourage and support volunteering at Green Hive, coordinating, administering and developing the current volunteer pool (numbering nearly 200 people), and leading on the recruitment, induction and deployment of new volunteers for different roles across the organisation - including at Seaman’s Hall, the Community Workshop and in support of our events, outdoor activities, fundraising and marketing.

Context:Launched in 2015, Green Hive (formally Nairn River Enterprise) is a charity specialising in volunteer-led projects and other initiatives, helping to conserve, restore and sustainably develop the natural habitats and public amenities of Nairn and Nairnshire, cultivating community action, skills and employability and improving outcomes for residents and visitors. Over the last decade the organisation has developed a suite of core business operations aimed at reducing pollution and waste, recycling and re-using discarded man-made materials and promoting more positive interactions with the local environment. It has done this while gradually consolidating its own financial position in support of longer-term organisational sustainability. Recent investment from the Postcode Innovation Trust takes us to the next level, and a dedicated Volunteering Officer will be key to our plans for growth and diversification. In November 2022 Green Hive took ownership of Seaman’s Hall in the Fishertown precinct of Nairn. Over the last 18 months we have been developing public programmes that focus on re-establishing this important historic building as a community hub. We are also formulating capital development plans for the facility. The Volunteering Officer will support these and help to drive these activities, contributing meaningfully to the implementation and continuing evolution of our five-year strategic development plan.
