The primary purpose of each of the roles is to provide the volunteer with a meaningful experience that enhances their employability and skills, whilst making an important contribution to host organisation The Tree Council’s attainment of its charitable objectives.
These roles are not entry-level administration: volunteers will be supervised and given management support so that they can identify and agree realistic targets for themselves and develop their knowledge and skill sets.
Hours are negotiable, but most of the opportunities will benefit from attention of between 7 and 21 hours a week over a consistent period, so that volunteers have a reasonable opportunity to achieve the purpose of the role.
Volunteers will be based at the main office in 71 Newcomen Street, London SE1 1YT, with some research visits.
Out-of-pocket expenses and travel costs will be reimbursed.
NB: volunteers are not employees, workers nor interns, neither will they be on observational work experience.
