Recovery Through Nature Volunteer

Our Recovery Through Nature Volunteers are community based and work to engage people who use our services in a range of practical conservation and horticultural projects to aid their recovery, and wellbeing. This role involves working within the community alongside our Recovery Through Nature lead.

You will assist with planning and organising Recovery Through Nature activities and events within the local community and encourage people to attend the project. You will liaise with RTN staff after sessions, debriefing, reviewing and planning future sessions. You will contribute to the completion of identified tasks and will assist people attending the project to complete conservation and environmental related awards.
