Experience of fundraising and volunteer management also welcome. We work across the UK and are keen to have more trustees in the north of England, Wales or Scotland. You don’t need to have been a trustee before, but do read the role profile to find out what's involved and how to apply. Deadline midday Tuesday 26 May.

Application form

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.

Plant Exchange coordinators (volunteer role)

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.
