Community Ranger

Community Ranger for Tayvallich Initiative
Are you passionate about working with communities? Do you love nature and the outdoors, and have the enthusiasm and versatility to help our community be more engaged with the land in our guardianship and actively involved in its management?
We are seeking a part-time, freelance Community Ranger to strengthen connections between local communities and the land Tayvallich Initiative (TI) owns on their behalf, encompassing its natural and cultural heritage, with a particular emphasis on people who are experiencing barriers to becoming involved.
Community Ranger
Freelance opportunity, 24 months fixed term, from early June 2024 to 30 May 2026
Hours: on average 2 days a week (with flexibility to meet the varying demands of this role). Allowance: for travel and mobile phone expenses plus use of a laptop for work purposes only
There is a generous budget available for volunteer expenses, materials, signage, tools, the creation of a new web resource, and the development of the TI website
Location: This role would ideally suit someone based in the Mid Argyll area who can travel to the community for events and engagement meetings. However, it is important that an applicant with a suitable level of experience is appointed and, as such, they could be from further afield with the ability to remote work and attend meetings in the community on a scheduled basis. The Tayvallich Community Hall is available for community events and has some space for office working.
TI is grateful for the funding for this post provided by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
