An ability to plan and work with others is essential. Some knowledge of conservation activities across the lower Crane valley and beyond would be useful.
This role offers the opportunity of gaining experience of working with trustees of a well-respected community organisation to improve local spaces along the lower Crane and Lower Duke of Northumberland's River corridors.
The development of the Volunteer Sundays programme takes place from July to September: approx. 4-6 hours each month. FORCE's Volunteer Sundays takes place one Sunday per month from October to June each year: approx. 6-8 hours per month.
