Hastings, East Sussex, United Kingdom The Conservation Volunteers Full time £24,024

Location: Hastings
Hours: 35 per week
Salary: £24,024 per annum plus £3,882 London Weighting

The Conservation Volunteers connects people and green spaces to deliver lasting outcomes for both.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join the TCV Sussex team to expand and develop our Health Walks offer as part of our new Green Gateways social prescribing project.

The successful candidate is likely to have previous experience of managing volunteers, delivering training and have knowledge of social prescribing or public health.

East Sussex Health Walks is a long running county-wide scheme of weekly one hour walks led by trained community volunteers. Last year we had nearly 20,000 walking engagements and we want to build on this. This post is for a Senior Project Officer to coordinate and develop the programme to help even more people to improve their health and wellbeing with regular, manageable exercise.

You will be coordinating the existing programme of Health Walks (approximately 25 per week) and managing the large group of Volunteer Health Walk Leaders (currently about 100). You will be responsible for recruiting and training new volunteers and developing new Health Walks to meet the funder's targets, including liaising with local partners, mapping, risk assessing and planning.

There will be ongoing marketing and publicity needs, as well as regular internal comms with volunteers to make sure they feel supported and valued and to reinforce and role model TCV best practise for safe, inclusive and supportive activities.

You will also be responsible for general project running tasks such as purchasing, scheme admin, report writing, attending events, liaising with funders & partners, meeting targets and deadlines.

Experience required/desirable:

  • Managing, supporting & recruiting volunteers
  • Delivering training
  • Health & wellbeing projects / public health / social prescribing

The post is currently funded until August 2025. It is full-time (35 hours per week) and based in the TCV office in Hastings but covers the whole county. TCV supports a flexible approach to determining the days and hours worked and we are open to discussions about hybrid working. The role may include occasional weekend and evening work.

We are happy to consider any reasonable adjustments that candidates may need during the recruitment process, and you will be asked whether you require any during your application. If you would like to discuss your requirements further please contact the People Team via or by telephone on We also offer reasonable adjustments on the job.

A full, clean or near clean UK driving licence is required for this post, which has been held for a minimum of one year.
