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.
