We have a small but mighty team of part-time staff who manage the Dell at Tortworth Arboretum, ensure the Tortworth Forest Centre CIC is run smoothly and deliver our community events, volunteer days and wellbeing projects.
The environment sector is one of the least ethnically diverse sectors in the UK and we want to contribute to changing this. We are committed to equity of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where everyone feels they belong. We also know that diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are underrepresented in our team. These include people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people and LGBTQI+ people.
Director/Trustee
We are making the transition from Community Interest Company to Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We are looking for several new Trustees to join our current Directors to create a new Board of Trustees for the organisation. Together we are responsible for ensuring the strategy is delivered and the organisation is run smoothly.
Ideally you will bring a range of skills to the board, including one of the following specialist areas:
- Arboriculture, conservation & community-based landwork
- People development & culture
- Wellbeing provision & safeguarding
- Building local connections & partnerships
We have 10 online Board meetings a year. The role is unpaid voluntary.
The Trustees should be able to engage the public and local organisations in the story of Tortworth, inspiring them to be part of this exciting restoration and wellbeing project. As a member of our small but mighty team, you will be expected to represent the organisation at one of our public events each year.
Closing date for applications: Monday 27th October, 9am
Please send your CV and covering letter detailing your relevant experience to Amy Walsh, Managing Director of Tortworth Forest Centre CIC – amyw@tortwortharboretum.org
