About Us
The Box Moor Trust is a registered charity that manages nearly 500 acres of grazing and amenity land on behalf of the local community.
Predominantly open access, our Estate is comprised of a range of habitats subject to varied management plans;
* River Bulbourne, a rare chalk river that runs through the Estate
* Roughdown Common, a SSSI consisting of unimproved chalk grassland.
* Gadespring, an ex-watercress growing site, now managed as a wetland nature reserve.
Most of the Estate is subject to conservation grazing, as it would have been 400 years ago when the Trust was formed, grazed by our herd of Belted Galloway cows, and our homebred Norfolk Horn sheep – both rare breeds.
About the role
In this role, you will communicate key environmental educational messages relating to our land and our work to the whole Trust team, our volunteers and our beneficiaries.
You will develop and lead quality outdoor activities that are tailored to different groups and participant needs, with a focus on the natural world, nature regeneration and recovery.
As the key contact for our volunteers, you will oversee all aspects of volunteer co-ordination, including recruitment, training and communication, as well as planning and leading work parties and ecological survey activity.
The Team
The Trust has a small Estate Team supported by a growing enthusiastic group of Volunteers – all passionate about the Estate and the environment. We take all opportunities to engage with the local community, raising awareness of the natural world across all generations.
Rewards
* Training opportunities provided when required
* 25 days annual leave (rising after 3 & 5 years) plus bank holidays.
