Role

Urban Roots is a thriving community-led environmental and health improvement charity. Over the past ten years we have worked with local residents and a large team of enthusiastic volunteers to establish a network of community gardens and woodlands across the Southside of Glasgow. We also run a number of healthy cooking projects and outdoor learning and play activities for children and young people.

We are passionate about the benefits that our work brings to improving local environments, promoting community cohesion and supporting the health and well-being of people of all ages. We work closely with other community organisations, Glasgow City Council and the NHS Health Improvement team to ensure that our projects are effective and targeted at those most in need.

We are looking to recruit an organised and experienced person to coordinate the running of Urban Roots and consolidate the operation of the organisation; to develop the project coordinators into an effective management team for Urban Roots; and oversee the sustainable development and growth of the organisation with projects that deliver our objectives and vision.
