At the Green Team we are passionate about supporting young people to find their place in nature. Spending time outdoors as a child or young person produces a life-long love of nature and the natural environment. We believe every child has a right to these positive outdoor experiences and we run programmes of activities which help them do so.

Founded in 1995, the Green Team initially supported young people to succeed in achieving the Duke of Edinburgh award. Since then, the team has grown significantly and now offers nine programmes along with corporate volunteering days and holiday activities. From one member of staff and a few volunteers, we now have 11 staff and over 50 volunteers.

We are proud that our programmes support both environmental and personal development goals. As a small charity, we couldn’t do it without the help of some amazing volunteers, partner organisations, funders and fundraisers. Their efforts make a huge difference to the young people we work with.

Our vision: A Scotland where everyone values and can enjoy the natural environment.

Our mission: To provide transformational outdoor experiences that connect children and young people to nature, others and themselves.

Our aims: Through our programmes we provide lasting and positive life-changing experiences in three core areas: connecting with nature, connecting with others and connecting with self. Over the next 10 years we aim to build a legacy of positive, transformational and lasting experiences for our stakeholders through securing a sustainable and long term future for the organisation.

The role

We are looking for a passionate and creative Marketing and Communications Co-ordinator with a keen interest in young people and nature conservation. This role is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact by sharing the Green Team story in a way that inspires and engages a wide range of stakeholders.

A key focus of this role will be reaching young people on the platforms they use, creating engaging and relatable content that captures their attention and encourages them to connect with the Green Team. Through innovative storytelling, dynamic content creation, and multi-channel communications, you will help make the Green Team more widely known and accessible to young people, while also strengthening relationships with supporters, parents/carers, schools, partners, funders and the wider community.

By growing our reach and deepening engagement, you will play a vital role in expanding our impact on young people and greenspaces across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
