No agencies please. As an organisation we are committed to keeping costs down, which is what our supporters and staff expect of us. We have decided to manage this recruitment process without the assistance of recruitment agencies and simply ask that this decision is respected.

As a charity, in order to save resources, if applicants have not heard from us within three weeks of the closing date they should assume their application has been unsuccessful.

Volunteer Nature Reserve Group Leader (part time)

Location: Joan’s Hill Farm Nature Reserve, Checkley, Nr. Hereford, Herefordshire
Pay: voluntary position with training opportunities

Joan’s Hill Farm is a hidden gem in the Wye Valley AONB, and we need help to introduce it to the wider community. The 46 acres of land has abundant wild flowers which could be enjoyed in many ways by the local community, guided walks, practical conservation work, bird surveys, butterflies and moths surveys, school groups, it just needs the right person to spread the word – could this be you?

An exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, motivated person is on offer to help us in a new initiative to develop a volunteers group at this reserve in Herefordshire. This will be on a flexible part time basis but is likely to involve organising and leading at least one activity per month. Training will be offered, including a week at either our flagship reserve in Kent, or in the Netherlands as part of an international network of volunteers – expenses paid (both late April), First aid, and others as needed.

No qualifications needed but some knowledge of wildflowers and real enthusiasm and dedication to build up a team of volunteers over time to make Joan’s Hill Farm Reserve come to life. Help and support will be provided. For more information and/or an application form, please contact Sue Southway by email sue.southway@plantlife.org.uk or telephone: 01722 342743

Apply by 6 February 2012 for interview on 8 February 2012 (probably by telephone).
