Keep Britain Tidy is one of the UK’s leading environmental charities. At a time when we are living in a world that is facing its greatest environmental challenges, the work we do has never been more important or more urgent.
We are looking for an experienced and dynamic person to manage our national LitterHeroes programme.
The successful person will have experience in project management, budgets, managing staff and volunteer engagement skills.
This role sits within the Volunteering & Community Engagement team who run a range of programmes and activities for volunteers and will be responsible for the development, management and coordination of the Keep Britain Tidy LitterHeroes programme.
The role will engage with our dedicated volunteers in both the LitterHeroes and LitterHeroes Ambassadors networks who are taking action on litter across the country.
The aim of this role is to develop and deliver the programme to increase the impact our volunteers can have. The post holder will expand engagement with Keep Britain Tidy LitterHeroes and LitterHeroes Ambassadors and increase their support, knowledge, and ultimately the action they take, developing the programme so that it has real impact.
The role will manage these two inspiring networks of volunteers, growing the volunteer base; providing advice; supporting them to take action in their local community; supporting them to promote Keep Britain Tidy’s campaigns; developing online support systems; and measuring and communicating the impact of the work they do.
As we’re moving forward, we recognise that a diverse workforce yields the best results. We embrace all the different identities in the UK, and we want our workforce to reflect that.
Environmental change is affecting us all and we want people from all backgrounds to be part of the solution and help us make the changes that cannot wait. It is for this reason that Keep Britain Tidy has flexible and supportive policies for all our staff and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
All our roles benefit from generous holiday entitlement and pension contributions, including the opportunity to join the UK’s first net carbon pension scheme and to receive extra days leave for using alternatives to flights.
