Job description

Green Allotments is a new charity on a mission to create new allotment sites in England and Wales.

We are a charity and do not make a profit from our work. 

We are seeking a Volunteer Land Monitor. The role is to visit a piece of land weekly and check everything is OK. The land is located in the Hebron area of Morpeth, Northumberland. The land does not currently have allotments on it. We ask you to take a short video recording of the land each time you visit and then sharethis with our staff. This is so that we have regular records of the condition of the land and so that we can check for any issues.

Who the role is suitable for: A person who likes being outdoors and who has a background in making assessments, or who is good at following a routine, or communicates well with colleagues. You must be able to use a smart phone to record/share a video and report back to staff. This role is suitable for someone looking for a short, regular, outdoor volunteer commitment and who likes trying out something new. This role might suit someone who likes walking, cycling, wildlife, nature. For example, you might like to include your volunteering as part of a regular hike or bike.

This is a new volunteer role which our charity hopes to duplicate elsewhere in England and Wales. Our north east based staff will meet with you and train you in how to carry out the role. 

Your initial monitoring of the land will be in conjunction with our staff and your views/feedback will be important, helping to shape the volunteer role for a national roll-out. 

The role does not involve any physical activity other than walking and looking. (There is no tree pruning or moving/lifting objects, no attending meetings, or writing long reports). Expenses are reimbursed.

Applications will only be accepted from people who live in the Morpeth area, so please include your postal address when you get in touch.
