**Salary**:£21,240 pro rata per annum.

**The charity**:
Our organisation promotes the know-how and benefits of organic gardening to individual and community gardeners. Showing people how they can encourage ecosystems to flourish in their own growing space has never been more important to stem the decline of plant and insect species and aid nature’s recovery. Our work is set in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and we want to ensure Garden Organic is having demonstrable and measurable positive impact, in particular on SDG 15 - Life on Land.

**Why it’s a great time to be joining Garden Organic**:
Our charity was founded over 60 years ago, when organic growing was an ‘alternative’ way of life. Today, there is huge interest in how gardeners, consumers and businesses can follow sustainable practices, to do their bit to protect the environment and the biodiversity on their doorstep. With our unrivalled expertise, gained through decades of hands-on organic growing, we are in the best possible position to support people to follow the organic way.

**Overall purpose of the role**:
Garden Organic is looking for a Community Engagement Officer to work collaboratively and proactively with project colleagues, stakeholders and volunteers on the ground in Shropshire. As part of our Master Composter programme, in conjunction with Veolia and Shropshire County Council, we support residents to take positive environmental actions and make their own compost and reduce their impact on the environment.

As Community Engagement Officer your work will inspire positive environmental action encouraging home composting in communities around Shropshire.

You will work with our HQ team, coordinator and the local community to find new and exciting ways to deliver the home composting message, you will be responsible for organising and delivering short talks, engagement sessions and activities for a variety of different groups. You will also support volunteers by attending events & ensuring that they have the materials and resources they need.

**What we are looking for**:
You will be naturally curious, looking for opportunities to engage with the community and drive the home composting initiative and you will have a proven ability to influence and motivate.

Your role will be fast paced, and you will need to be able to adapt sessional delivery to the needs of partners and audiences. You will be working alongside local project partners and an established network of Master Composter volunteers. With annualized hours we will look to you to manage your time effectively and in line with the demands of the project.

**Our ambition**:
