Post: Garden Organic Senior Project Coordinator (Rugby)
Location: This role is based out of our head office in Ryton, with regular travel within Warwickshire, predominantly to projects in the Rugby area. Occasional travel to support projects further afield will also be required.
Reporting to: Head of Knowledge Transfer
Contract Term: Fixed Term - 12 months.
Hours: Full time - 35 hours per week
Salary: £26,000 - £28,890 per annum
Role subject to DBS Check: No
The charity:
Our organisation promotes the know-how and benefits of organic gardening to individual and community gardeners. Showing people how they can encourage ecosystems to flourish in their own growing space has never been more important to stem the decline of plant and insect species and aid nature’s recovery. Our work is set in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and we want to ensure Garden Organic is having demonstrable and measurable positive impact, in particular on SDG 15 – Life on Land.
Why it’s a great time to be joining Garden Organic:
Our charity was founded over 60 years ago, when organic growing was an ‘alternative’ way of life. Today, there is huge interest in how gardeners, consumers and businesses can follow sustainable practices, to do their bit to protect the environment and the biodiversity on their doorstep. With our unrivalled expertise, gained through decades of hands-on organic growing, we are in the best possible position to support people to follow the organic way.
Overall purpose of the role:
Garden Organic is looking for a Senior Project Coordinator to oversee an exciting new project in Rugby and provide support to at least one of our successful projects in the Midlands.
We are a growing charity (literally and metaphorically!) and to service that growth we are looking for a candidate who can take on this new and rewarding role.
You will be supporting volunteers and the the local communities to take positive environmental actions in the form of gardening organically, home composting, waste reduction and supporting biodiversity.
As a Senior Project Coordinator you will work collaboratively and proactively with project colleagues, stakeholders and volunteers. You will identify new partnership and delivery opportunities based on local community and project needs. This role will be based out of our head office at Ryton but you will be building many new relationships, so expect to be out and about locally.
You will work with other senior project coordinators and department leads to ensure that support for all our volunteers exceeds expectation, and our community projects are delivered to an excellent standard. You will contribute to and where appropriate oversee the development of project related resources.
You will support and deliver events and activities by enlisting volunteers and ensuring that they have the guidance and materials they need.
You will deliver workshops and training on topics core to the principles of organic gardening including home composting, waste reduction, and biodiversity, for a variety of audiences.
Evaluation of project impact is paramount for the charity and its commissioners, so you will work with volunteers to collate written feedback and produce detailed reports as required. Your written feedback will require analysis and evidence of the expected or actual impact of your, and your associated volunteers, work.
What we are looking for:
Reporting into the Head of Knowledge Transfer, you will be joining a UK-wide team with a broad range of skill sets, knowledge, and experience. Our ideal candidate will share our passion and enthusiasm to inspire more people to use the principles of organic gardening, whether that’s composting, growing your own, boosting biodiversity or reducing waste.
You will be a strong project manager, with experience of working with diverse communities. You will be a conduit for enabling the greatest possible impact across our delivery and you will be naturally curious to understand our mission and proactively seek out fresh and creative opportunities to expand our reach.
An engaging and proactive communication style is essential, be it, in person, virtually or by telephone and email. Our ideal candidate must also have strong organisational, time management and administrative skills to ensure they can manage a busy workload with multiple simultaneous projects and changing priorities.
You will be a confident and experienced trainer with a proven track record of engaging across a diverse range of people and communities.
You will have experience of using social media and PR to promote project work, you will work closely with our Communication and marketing team to promote our work and engage more people in volunteering and positive environmental behavior.

Founded in 2010 on the initiative of Lord (Brian) Griffiths of Fforestfach, The Centre for Enterprise, Markets and Ethics seeks to address some of the challenges facing twenty-first century capitalism. Our contribution comes from the promotion of the market economy from a Christian perspective within a framework of calling, integrity and ethical behaviour leading to the transformation of business enterprise and contributing to the relief of poverty.
Our focus is on:
· The moral basis of wealth creation
· Profit, taxation and enterprise
· Vocation to business
· Philanthropy and social welfare
· Ethical challenges
The activities of the Centre include:
· Conducting and commissioning research
· Writing and commissioning the writing of booklets, blogs, book reviews and other written material
· Organising events of various kinds including seminars and round table events
· Contributing to books and other material being published by other organisations and speaking at or otherwise contributing to events organised by other organisations.
Our recent publications include The Challenges of Artificial Intelligence, Private Planning and the Great Estates and What is the value of business: Results of Polling. The last of these was part of a project entitled The Ethics and Theology of Business, which included a survey of attitudes towards business and related matters as well as case studies on family business and involved interviews with business leaders as well as various podcasts. To review our publications, please click here.
Over the past 14 years we have seen the consensus broaden around the fact that business is essential to society for growth, employment and opportunity. However, it is widely recognised that it can only be built effectively upon ethical frameworks.
Sitting at the intersection of business, economics and theology, we aspire to reach increasing numbers of senior executives and leaders from across business, the church, academia, and wider society with ethical frameworks of thinking that relate to the real world. We want to influence opinion formers and equip those in business to think through those issues that are relevant to them.
It is in this context that we seek a leader who:
· Is a Christian with a strong personal faith, committed to developing a Christian worldview based on the Bible and relevant to contemporary economic, social and political issues.
· Has a professional background including working at a senior level in relation to matters that are relevant to the work of CEME (e.g. business, public policy or economic or theological research).
· Has an established track record of communicating complex messages in published and spoken formats to a range of audiences with integrity, clarity and conviction.
· Has an ability to discern when and how to influence individuals and groups from delivering compelling public speeches to well-placed conversations.
· Has a robust and current knowledge and understanding of economics and the debates which are live and/or emerging.
· Is committed to and has a passion for the vision, aims and objectives of CEME.
The deadline for applications is 5pm BST on Wednesday 14th August 2024.
Please note that this role has an Occupational Requirement to be a committed Christian as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010.
