Green Communities is a partnership between Plymouth City Council (PCC) and National Trust. It connects people and wildlife in 3 key neighbourhoods in Plymouth. As one of 3 National Trust Urban Community Rangers, you will work alongside PCC officers to help local people shape nature in their neighbourhoods.
What you'll be doing:
You'll be a friendly face out and about in urban communities, working alongside businesses and social enterprises, residents, schools, and community groups to listen to how they want to improve their green spaces, and support them to make things happen. A key part of your role will be delivering practical nature conservation activities, sharing green skills, coordinating ecological monitoring and recording, and promoting opportunities for citizen science. This might be supporting a community garden project, looking at food waste and composting, or working with partners on Nature Counts and bioblitz events. There will be opportunities to work with other environment teams across the Council, such as Plymouth Natural Grid, and at NT properties in Devon and Cornwall.
Requirements:
* Passionate about everyone in cities having access to greenspace, nature, and wildlife
* A strong communicator and team player who can quickly create solid relationships in the neighbourhoods in which you'll work
* An efficient collaborator working in partnership with others, who can overcome barriers while considering and implementing different approaches
* Confident in leading, motivating, and inspiring groups of people, and keen to find ways to create nature advocates in local communities
* Happy to work with a wide range of different communities, local people, schools, youth groups, and interest groups, reaching out to new audiences who might not already be connected to nature
* Adept with a range of practical skills and be happy to share them, encouraging people to get more active and involved in nature-based activities
* Comfortable with working both outside and inside, with some office duties
* A driver with a full UK driving licence
