Working for Groundwork

photo : working togetherThere are many opportunities to develop your career with Groundwork.  Each Groundwork Trust is led by an Executive Director and employs a team of professional staff.  This might include project managers, landscape architects, youth and community workers, education and business professionals, finance and administration staff.  In addition Groundwork has a network of regional and national offices in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Most positions within Groundwork are posted on this website.  Vacancies are also advertised in local and national newspapers and relevant trade magazines such as Regeneration and Renewal and New Start.

Volunteers

Groundwork Trusts regularly involve volunteers, especially people seeking work experience before moving into full-time paid employment.  Volunteering opportunities will depend on the types of projects being run by individual Trusts.  Undertaking voluntary projects can put people in a better position to obtain full-time work – in fact many of Groundwork’s existing staff began their careers with us by volunteering.

To find out what opportunities might exist for voluntary work in your area contact your local Trust.

Become a trustee

Because all Groundwork Trusts are independent charities they all have boards of trustees; there are 650 volunteer trustees across the Groundwork Federation; they are integral to Groundwork’s achievements.  Trusteeship is a great way to make a significant difference, and as a respected and responsible role, it is also a brilliant route to developing new skills and gaining experience. 

We believe our governance is improved when trustees are recruited with diverse skills & experience. Groundwork boards need people like you to bring new insights, vision and support.  If you want to find out more about becoming a trustee please have a look at  the information in the support our work section.
