Are you an enthusiastic and inspiring Manager who would be excited to lead our Green Skills Centre team into
its next phase?
Are you looking for a role where every day is different and you lead a team who make a real difference to
people’s lives?
Would you like to work with others to create a thriving, therapeutic green space that connects people to each
other, nature and community?
If so, this may be the perfect opportunity for you!
About the service
Our newly named Green Skills Centre offers group training and development work to young people and other groups at
risk of experiencing homelessness. We realise that many 'at risk' groups can suffer from a nature
deficit and sense of disconnection which can intensify and compound the struggles people face. We aim to be a
restorative and supportive influence. We offer workshops, accredited training and client-led learning pathways.
Our learning work includes sustainable horticulture, market gardening, woodland skills, peer-mentoring and
outdoor-education.
About the post
This is an exciting opportunity to lead the Green Skills Centre into the next phase of its journey. Our ambition is a
thriving, therapeutic green space that allows those in need to benefit from learning opportunities and skills
development in a safe space that connects them to nature and to people.
This role will lead on the management and development of the Centre, with responsibility for all delivery and the
site itself, as well as responsibility for ensuring it is managed in line with the organisations vision and
strategic aims.
About you
You will be an experienced manager with knowledge of sustainable food production.
You will have experience of project and financial management, be well organised with the ability to manage your own
workload and working within policies.
You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to build robust relationships, treating others with
respect and compassion, in line with our values.
This is a varied role that will require you to support the team and volunteers, problem solve, co-ordinate the site
and to be positive, creative and flexible in providing support.
How we’ll support you
You’ll be working independently leading a team with a supportive manager. We will encourage you to use your
creativity to manage the Green Skills Centre, innovate new activities and support you to introduce them.
You will have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff
wellbeing services.
