JUST ONE Tree is a young, but award-winning, non-profit organisation. We’re tackling the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through global reforestation. We make it simple for everyone to get involved because JUST £1 plants 1 Tree.
We are unique as we don’t just plant trees. We focus on restoring the entire eco-system in the oceans as well as on land, and we also educate the next generation of environmental guardians.
Sound like something you’d love to be part of? Join us in this important role.
THE ROLE:
Working alongside our founder Amanda, and other team members you’ll be right at the heart of the action. You’ll be the backbone of daily operations, providing vital support, handling all aspects of administration and ensuring the ship runs smoothly.
Your role will be pivotal in enabling us to be efficient and effective across our organisation and helping us to have an even bigger impact on restoring the planet.
We’re looking for someone who’s a solutions finder and ready to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. You’ll have great attention to detail and relish being organised and efficient. But you’ll also be able to bring the experience to take a step back and have a look at our systems and processes to suggest and implement efficiencies and improvements.
This is a permanent part-time role, 20 hours a week (half a day every day), with the opportunity to scale up in both responsibilities and hours as our organisation grows. We'll explore the exact hours and timings with you and together find what works.
So if you’re passionate about having a positive impact in the fight against climate change, want to work and interact with like-minded individuals (and have fun along the way) then we’d love to hear from you.
WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE:
· Operational Management: Streamline daily business operations, to keep an ever-improving and well-oiled machine. Enable and support the smooth onboarding of our new automatic donation system. Explore new software, systems and processes that will help as we grow to the next level.
· Administration: Executing a range of administrative tasks including donation logging, managing invoicing, tracking fundraising and data entry into Salesforce and Mailchimp.
· Communication Hub: Be the central point of communication, ensuring different parts of the team are kept updated and pulling in the same direction.
· Co-ordination: Oversee, run and deliver projects on time, from blogs and newsletters to the implementation of new tech systems.
· Processes: Oversee the smooth running of existing processes across the organisation and ensure the team utilise them correctly.
· HR: Lead on staff recruitment including hiring and onboarding new team members, performance reviews and overseeing the smaller details such as sick pay and annual leave.
· Policies: Keeping current policies and JOT handbooks up to date, adding new policies where needed and helping create those we are yet to think of.
· Logistics: Being a logistical wizard for team travel, events, meetings and internship organisation
· Company-wide Support: Be our 5th Emergency service! Support the small and passionate team to be the best they can be. You’ll have oversight of it all so we can run smoothly.
The right person with the right attitude is more important to us, than ticking all the boxes.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE:
· Passionate and enthusiastic - we thrive on having a great bunch of people on our team, all working together for a better future.
· Dependable – reliable and committed. Your role and presence is foundational to the success of the organisation.
· Solutions finder – you know how to solve the problem or know the right person to ask for help…or even better, you’re a step ahead and already on it!
· Go-getter – proactive not reactive.
· Good communicator.
· Streamliner – you can spot how to improve a process a mile away!
· Dedicated – we want someone to be a long-term part of the team and grow with us as we scale up.
· Able to work remotely
· Have your own computer
· Fluent in English
· Fanatical about detail
· Organised
· Proficient with standard software eg. Microsoft word, Excel, Google docs
· Familiar with CRMs, ideally Salesforce, and other business support systems, or confident in picking up how ours works.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:
· Working remotely – Like to work from home in your comfy slippers? No worries, we’re used to that. Our team is spread out all around the world. However, for this role we are seeking someone who lives in the UK, with easy access to London for team meet-ups.
· Flexible working – work around the school pick-up, after your morning swim or you’ve walked the dog – you decide. Your day will mainly need to fall within normal office hours, but you can jiggle it around what works for you.
· Holiday time – we believe in the importance of good mental health and family time. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
· Contributing to tackling one of the most pressing crises of our time – with a great team.
· Basic hourly rate with end of year and summer bonus, total equivalent to c. £28,000 - £30,000 if it were a full-time position
If you’re a person who loves blending attention to detail and an eye for data with good people skills and has a passion for being the supportive core at the heart of an environmental organisation, then we’d love to hear from you!
Most of all, we believe in working hard and having fun along the way! We're looking for someone to join us and be a great part of the JUST ONE Tree team.
JUST ONE Tree is uncomfortably aware of the lack of diversity in the environmental sector and we’re not ok with it. We know we’ll be even stronger and more effective in powering change if we are a more diverse team.
All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, national origin, disability, age or any other grounds.

We have over 60 years of experience working across the public and voluntary sectors to improve the lives of children and young people.
We are seeking an experienced mixed methods social researcher, with a particular interest and expertise in evaluation. Whilst the role is varied, the primary focus is the formative, developmental and summative evaluation and iterative refinement of a range ofservice-level and place-based and/or systemic change initiatives focused on improving outcomes for children, families and communities. The work involves applying mixed methods and working with an inter-disciplinary team (internally and with collaborating partners).
Approaches will be tailored depending on the needs of each project but are likely to include theory-driven approaches such as theory of change, realistevaluation and contribution analysis alongside experimental or quasi-experimental methods. The candidate need not be expert in all but must have a curiosity and willingness to learn and apply different methods in a range of contexts.
The role is practically applied, varied and fast-paced - leading and contributing to multiple projects, concurrently. It involves working closely with internal and external collaborators, innovating to blend robust research methods with human-centred design and systems thinking approaches. We value curiosity, relational approaches, and evidence-informed approaches to advancing social justice.
The role will suite someone who is impact-driven, able to lead and thrives in a dynamic and applied research environment. The successful candidate will enjoy a varied and independent role - working with great colleagues and partners on a wide range of projects and initiatives.
If we’re going to design impactful supports for children and families, we need to ensure our team is inclusive. Dartington Service Design Lab encourages applications from all backgrounds and strives to have a team with diverse skills, experiences and abilities. We are committed to progressing an anti-racist approach in all areas of our work.
Don’t meet every single requirement outlined in the Job Description? Studies have shown that women and racially minoritised groups are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single requirement. Dartington Service Design Lab is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace for everyone. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience or qualifications don’t match the job description exactly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be the right person to help us achieve our impact for children and young people.
As a team, we operate remotely across the UK. The successful candidate may be based anywhere in the UK. Our staff tend to work from home or when appropriate, together in local co-working spaces, and normally, every quarter we meet as a whole team in our beautiful Devon office.
The post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.

About us
REMAP is a unique national charity. It brings together two groups of people: volunteers skilled at making things and disabled people who need specialist equipment. Each year, around 3,000 pieces of custom-made equipment help transform the lives of disabled people.
REMAP’s army of ingenious inventors designs and makes equipment for young and old alike and then provides it free of charge. The aim is always to help people achieve quality of life, filling the gap where no suitable equipment is available commercially.
With an exciting new strategy that will continue to place the client at the heart of our work, we seek an experienced charity sector referral officer to help us deliver on our mission and vision.
REMAP is an organisation that encourages its team members to contribute their thoughts and ideas actively and work together to achieve its aims and ambitions. You will be given the space to work autonomously and grow in the role, but with the support of your colleagues and line manager when you need us. You can work to your strengths and share your successes and learning with the broader team, who will, in turn, look to share their experiences and learning.
The Role
The Referrals Officer role is critical to the charity. It ensures that our referral process is managed effectively for our clients and branches.
This is both an internal and external role. The person in this role is the first point of contact for all referral queries. You will assign referrals to branches, liaise with clients and volunteers, and maintain our CRM system.
We seek a strong people person with at least two years of experience operating a CRM system regularly (ideally Salesforce). Experience working to develop a CRM system and client journey would be advantageous.
As a small charity, you will thrive in a busy environment, have excellent prioritisation skills and have a positive ‘can do’ attitude. We are a supportive team, and you will work closely with our Operations Manager and wider volunteer delivery colleagues to help REMAP support our clients and branches across the UK.
About You
We want you to bring relevant experience, passion, dedication, positivity, and flair to our work.
To be considered for this role, you will have demonstrable experience in a similar position and be comfortable working with a diverse range of volunteers/people. As a self-starter, you can work at pace and quickly assess and deliver to changing priorities in a busy remote team. You will have excellent interpersonal skills, be able to coordinate multiple tasks/activities and have the flexibility to respond to changing demands. Ideally, you will have experience dealing with enquiries from health professionals and vulnerable clients.
You will be proactive, enthusiastic, and excited about joining an organisation with ambitious plans to future-proof its services and reach more disabled people. Experience working in a remote environment is highly desirable.
