Historic Ridgeway Volunteer Co-ordinator

3 months ago

Witney, United Kingdom Oxfordshire County Council Full time

**Job details**:
**Salary range**: £35,745 - £38,223 pro-rata per annum (actual salary £20,228 - £21,695 per annum)

**Work location**: Sutton Farm, near Witney, Oxfordshire (agile working)

**Hours per week**: 21 (3 days per week
- occasional weekend work required)

**Contract type**: Temporary for 21 months, with potential for extension

**Closing date**:Monday 26th February 2024

**Interview date**: Thursday 7th & Friday 8th March 2024

**About us**:
The Ridgeway is one of the most well-known historic routeways in the country and the National Trails Team is proud to care for all 87 miles of it. Launching in September 2023 during the 50th anniversary year of The Ridgeway becoming a National Trail, this new 3 year Historic Ridgeway project has created two new posts in the National Trails Team: Project Manager (already in post) and Volunteer Co-ordinator.

The Historic Ridgeway Volunteer Co-ordinator will engage individuals and groups from diverse communities across the project area in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire to carry out and enjoy practical outdoor tasks focused around historic features along part of the Trail between Wallingford and Ashbury in Oxfordshire.

Project staff are employed by Oxfordshire County Council as the host authority of an ambitious Trail Partnership of numerous stakeholders.

**About the role**:
Working with the Historic Ridgeway Project Manager, the Volunteer Co-ordinator will help realise a long-held ambition of The Ridgeway Partnership to improve conservation and public enjoyment of The Ridgeway’s heritage. Using well-known landmarks in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire including Wayland’s Smithy and Grim’s Ditch, the Volunteer Co-ordinator will lead on developing connections with local communities and identify ways to make exploration of the countryside and volunteering with the project appealing and accessible to local people from a diversity of backgrounds.

From the start, the Volunteer Co-ordinator will develop and undertake targeted outreach work to engage people in the project area, many of whom may not be familiar with their local countryside and/or heritage and will be a new audience for the National Trail Team to work with. This is an exciting new area of work and the postholder will be able to draw on the expertise of partner organisations including Historic England and Natural England. The Project Steering Group will assist the postholder in identifying target communities and developing suitable engagement techniques. The Volunteer Co-ordinator will work with the Steering Group and their own diverse network of contacts to ensure project communications materials and activities, including volunteer training opportunities, reflect and engage a broad audience.

The postholder will design a schedule of volunteer task events located at various historic features along The Ridgeway to attract target community groups and individuals to volunteer with the project. Guided by site management plans produced by the Project Manager, the Volunteer Co-ordinator will lead groups of volunteers in sawing and chopping down scrub, installing visitor interpretation signage, mowing long grass etc for the purpose of improving the condition, interpretation and accessibility of Scheduled Monuments and other historic features identified by the project.

Whilst the Project Manager will initiate contact and permissions with landowners/land managers, the Volunteer Co-ordinator will follow up by arranging access to site and ensuring the site is left in good order. The postholder will also decide what equipment, materials, training and motivation are needed to enable volunteers to carry out tasks safely and confidently and ensure volunteers enjoy the experience. To help the Project Manager build a picture of the impact of the project, the Volunteer Co-ordinator will develop and maintain records about the volunteer experience. They will also work with colleagues in the workshop near Witney to share and maintain the workspace and equipment in accordance with council policies and procedures.

**About you**:
Whilst the Volunteer Co-ordinator will need be confident working independently, you will also be a strong communicator who is skilful in empathising with others, keen to build positive working relationships with a diversity of people, and confident to provide leadership when necessary. You will be experienced in leading groups of people in carrying out group work and motivated to work with volunteers, deliver outdoor practical work with hand tools, work outside in different weather conditions and regularly drive off-road with a trailer. You will be able to provide clear instruction and work in an organised way to ensure people work safely and the workspaces, equipment and records you use are kept in good order.

**Rewards and benefits**:

- Culture of flexible working
- Technology to support agile working where role permits
- Up to 33 day’s holiday pro-rata p.a. plus bank holidays
- Optio
