About the role:
TCV York Conservation Centre has been running environmental projects in the York and North
Yorkshire region for nearly 40 years.
We are seeking a highly motivated, organised, adaptable and committed person to join the team
for this important post. The post holder will work alongside other staff on the delivery of a
variety of practical conservation projects. The post holder will help supervise a volunteer
group which delivers a varied programme of potentially large scale practical environmental
projects in urban and rural locations every week throughout the year. The role is primarily
weekdays, but with 1 weekend practical task (usually a Sunday) each month with time off in lieu
or potentially paid at an hourly rate.
This role is a combination of office and field based. Key responsibilities of this post
include; planning and coordinating practical task programmes throughout the year – managing,
supporting and supervising teams of volunteers carrying out practical projects; developing and
planning weekly paid practical project work through liaising with partners and land managers;
developing plans and quotes for clients; assisting Key Volunteers and Voluntary Officers;
resource & equipment management and logistics, together with publicity and fundraising.
The successful applicant will have had several years of experience working in the environment
sector or similar. Be familiar with delivery of practical projects including ordering materials
and other logistics. Be able to demonstrate an understanding of a range of practical
conservation tasks, from habitat management and conservation, small-scale construction projects
such as footpaths, fencing and other timber structures, experience in supervising groups of
people, which may include vulnerable adults and people with learning difficulties. An ability
to communicate effectively with people with varying abilities as well as children, together
with personal qualities of resourcefulness and flexibility.
Competency certification to operate a variety of machinery and powered equipment relevant to
the sector would be advantageous although not a necessity. We regularly use equipment such as
Chainsaws and Brush Cutters, and occasionally use larger plant such as Excavators, Tractors and
Dumpers.
You will be required to drive a TCV vehicle. For insurance this means you must meet the TCV
driving requirements. A standard full UK Driving license is required.
