Salary: £19,418 per annum

BTCV is the UK’s leading practical conservation charity working with people from all sectors of the community in positive action to improve the environment.

In building on the work of our very successful involved project, BTCV has secured funding through the Big Lottery Fund to engage young people in a range of voluntary activities in Cumbria. The project will focus particularly on reaching those young people with barriers to volunteering, such as rural isolation, disability or low confidence. Your job will be to support these young people into successful and rewarding voluntary placements.

We require a Youth Project Officer to join the team. You will recruit and support volunteers, nurture ‘Youth Action Teams’ and identify new volunteering opportunities in line with demand from the young audience. Having experience of working with young people, you will be familiar with the importance of reward and progress. We are looking for engaging individuals who can demonstrate a commitment to equality.

This project is funded by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund.

A full UK driving licence and use of own car is essential as this project involves regular travel and covers the whole county.
