The Green Team was founded in 1995 to support young people to succeed in achieving the Duke of Edinburgh award. Since then, the team has grown significantly and now offers nine programmes along with corporate volunteering days and holiday activities. From one member of staff and a few volunteers, we now have 10 staff and over 50 volunteers.
The growth of the team since 1995 has been primarily driven by our current CEO, Penny Radway. The size of the organisation and number of programmes run mean that we believe the time is right to introduce a dual CEO approach. Penny will focus on CEO responsibilities for delivering our programmes and we are looking to recruit someone passionate about the outdoors and helping young people to become our CEO for corporate responsibility. We believe this represents an exceptional opportunity to help shape the Green Team strategy for the next decade, continue to grow the team and further enhance its reputation.
