Join our team at Plant Heritage as a volunteer or staff member to support our plant conservation work.
We have a small team of staff, supported by hundreds of volunteers and thousands of members across the UK who share our passion for plants and help us to achieve our objectives. Get involved to find likeminded plant enthusiasts and gain new skills and experience.
Could you be our new Partnerships and Events Manager?We are recruiting for a new Partnerships and Events Manager to help us to raise our profile and grow our network of supporters, so we can expand our plant conservation work. This is a key role, working closely with the chief executive, our membership team and our local groups across the UK.
The role will particularly suit you if you're great with people and juggling different tasks, able to communicate our work clearly to different audiences and passionate about helping us to succeed. You need to be prepared for some busy days and some occasional weekend working during show season (April to July), including the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2026. Apply by midday on Monday 22 Sept.
Collections coordinators (volunteer)
Coordinators play a vital role as the link between Collection Holders in their area, the conservation team, the local group and central office. We have vacancies for collections coordinators in a few areas.
Coordinators mentor and advise people who are interested in starting a collection, support new applicants, visit existing collections, and act as the local point of contact for Collection Holder queries. You will work principally with the conservation team who train, advise and support them.
If you are in (or near) any of the counties below, and would like to find out more, please contact the conservation team :
Herefordshire, East Midlands (covering Northamptonshire & Nottinghamshire, together or separately), North Staffordshire & Bedfordshire.
The West Midlands is covered by a neighbouring collections coordinator, but we welcome enquiries here too.
Plant exchange coordinators (volunteer)
If you enjoy being involved with plants and people, discovering new aspects of plant conservation, meeting like-minded people and travelling once a year to the national exchange, you may be a perfect Plant Exchange coordinator!
The Plant Exchange is open to all members, and we have areas of the country where we’d like to involve more people by having a local area coordinator. It is an excellent way to learn about and acquire rare and unusual plants. Please get in touch, particularly if you are in Cornwall, Scotland (apart from Dumfries and Galloway), central England, or Wales.
