Bristol, United Kingdom Bristol City Council Full time

**Full Time, Fixed Term for 12 months MAT cover.**

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead our expanding parks volunteer programme, whilst our current postholder is on maternity leave.

You will support staff and communities to lead and deliver a range of volunteer activities to benefit parks and green spaces across the city.

You will provide training and logistic support and look to develop new volunteer programmes in partnership with Your Park Bristol and Bath. Whilst you will lead some volunteer tasks, this role is more about creating the right conditions for volunteering activity to grow and thrive.

We are looking for someone with great communication skills, who understands what motivates people to volunteer with direct experience of doing this to good effect.

**Why Bristol City Council?**

At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation. For the majority of our roles hybrid working arrangements are available, giving teams the opportunity to work in a way that suits them, balancing service need and individual choice - mixing both home and office working.

Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards package including flexible working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance. In addition, you’ll be working in a supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.

**How do I apply?**

**For permanent Bristol City Council employees, this post will be a secondment.
**For employees who are currently on a fixed term contract with Bristol City Council, the secondment must not extend beyond the end of the fixed term period to ensure there is a substantive post to return to.**

**If you are currently a casual worker or a member of an employment agency (currently working with Bristol City Council) this post will be a fixed term contract.**

**Interviews will be held 17th or 18th July.**

**If you would like to have an informal chat about this role please contact Richard Ennion, on 07710 396 746.**
- At Bristol City Council, we value having a workforce as diverse as the city we serve. We therefore welcome, develop and promote people from all sections of the community. Appointments will be made on merit._
