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.

Urban Roots is seeking an experienced and organised Volunteer Coordinator to lead the recruitment, training, and support of volunteers across our community and environmental projects. You’ll manage enquiries, promote opportunities, ensure best practice in volunteer involvement, and support colleagues to deliver impactful programmes.

Strong volunteer management experience is essential, and a background in the third sector or an interest in environmental issues is a bonus.

If you’re passionate about people and making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
