Job summary

Forestry Englands Biodiversity Programme is a multi-year work stream to accelerate nature recovery at scale in England. With a multi-million-pound budget, supported by Defra and a growing portfolio of external funders, the programme makes a significant investment in nature recovery, alongside Forestry Englands parallel ambitions for sustainable timber production and connecting people with our forests.

We are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator to help deliver and grow our volunteering programme across our North District which covers Northumberland, Cumbria, County Durham and North Lancashire. Volunteering plays a key role in how we connect people with our forests, and this post will support over 50,000 volunteer hours delivered each year. You will work with teams across recreation, land management and business support to help plan, recruit and manage a wide range of volunteering opportunities. This is a varied, operational role combining coordination, monitoring and hands-on support. You will spend time both working at a desk and out on site, supporting volunteer supervisors and helping ensure activities are delivered safely, effectively and in line with Forestry England standards.

This role is funded by DEFRA rather than through Forestry England generated revenue, and is therefore subject to government spending reviews. While DEFRA has indicated long term support for the Biodiversity Programme and we expect funding to continue, it is possible that funding levels may change at the end of any financial year depending on DEFRAs budget allocations. In the event of funding changes, we would prioritise retaining staff posts wherever possible. This approach is consistent for roles within publicly funded organisations. We are committed to keeping staff informed and supported through any changes.
