Join our team at Plant Heritage to support our important plant conservation work
We have a small team of staff, supported by hundreds of volunteers and thousands of members across the UK who play a vital role in our work. Get involved to find likeminded plant enthusiasts and gain new skills and experience.
Collections Coordinators (volunteer role)
Coordinators play a vital role as the link between National Collection holders in their area, the conservation team and our network of local groups. 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 or regions below, and would like to find out more, please contact the conservation team :
Derbyshire, North Staffordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire - there are some regions where help may be appreciated and we can put you in touch.
The West Midlands is covered by a neighbouring collections coordinator, but we will welcome enquiries here too.
Become a Plant Exchange coordinator! (volunteer role)
Love plants, enjoy meeting people and want to make a real difference to plant conservation? Becoming a Plant Exchange coordinator is a rewarding way to combine all three!
As a coordinator, you’ll help rare and unusual plants find new homes, discover fascinating plants, share knowledge with fellow enthusiasts and support Plant Heritage’s conservation work. You’ll also be part of a friendly network of volunteers, with the opportunity to attend our national Plant Exchange each year.
The Plant Exchange is open to all Plant Heritage members, and we’d love to welcome more local coordinators to help it grow.
Could you help? We’re particularly keen to hear from members in Cornwall, Scotland (excluding Dumfries and Galloway), central England and Wales.
Get in touch to find out more.
