Southwest England/Wales – remote role with access to office in Cardiff if desired
The Project Assistant will support our team to launch and deliver our rewilding schools project. The project will work with 100 schools across the UK over two years, supporting them to help nature recover through their school estate and grounds, linking the project into the formal curriculum along the way. The Project Assistant will support our Senior Project Manager and Project Manager to approach, recruit and onboard new schools. The post holder will maintain the project website, drive social media communications for the project and manage the database of contacts for the project. They will lead on encouraging and supporting young people to engage in the project at 12 of the schools in year one. Much of the work will be delivered remotely, but there will be opportunities to regularly visit the schools in and around the working location of the post holder. This role will sit in the wider ‘Green Schools Revolution’ team, working closely with other Project Managers and Campaign Managers working on the wider programmes that the rewilding campaign sits within.
