Trees for life , Conservation Programme Assistant..
Trees for Life is an award-winning charity working to restore the native Caledonian Forest. Our vision is to restore Scotland’s ancient Caledonian Forest to a spectacular wilderness region of 1,000 square miles of mountains and glens to the west of Inverness and Loch Ness. The Caledonian Forest once covered a large part of the Highlands. It was Scotland’s equivalent of the rainforest, but has been reduced to just a tiny fraction of its former range. The majority of our conservation work is carried out by volunteers. The Trees for Life volunteer programme has around 350 volunteers working with us each year across 10 different locations in the Highlands.
Trees for Life’s volunteer programme is looking for an assistant to support us in our office in Findhorn for 1 day per week. This role is a good opportunity for someone with an interest in conservation to use their office based skills to support the restoration of the Caledonian Forest.
The programme assistant will support the collation of data, including volunteer feedback forms and conservation work records; maintain tools and equipment and provide logistical support to the volunteer programme. There would also be opportunities to join our practical conservation days if interested.
Specific Skills and Experience Required:
Familiarity with Excel and Word, and willingness to learn other computer based skills.
Ability to drive a minibus (D1 license) is an advantage.
You would be asked to contribute 4-7 hours per week, minimum commitment 3 months.
