Job description

We’re seeking a community-builder to grow our water-testing and river stewardship community across the River Wey catchment and beyond and lead communications for the region and the wider Water Rangers community. 

This hosted role at Zero Carbon Guildford (ZCG) supports the River Wey catchment community co-created by Water Rangers, River Wey Trust, and ZCG

Project overview and objectives

Since 2021, Water Rangers, River Wey Trust and ZERO Carbon Guildford have built a thriving community-led programme across the River Wey catchment. We’re now looking for a special person to better support our volunteer-run river stewardship, to deepen community engagement and coordinate actions that support healthier rivers and their ecosystems.

About the role

  • Contract: 12-month fixed term, potential to extend

  • Hours: 4–5 days/week (0.8–1.0 FTE); includes planned evening/weekend work for events/training. Willing to consider 3 days/week for the right candidate.

  • Salary: £31,553 FTE (can be pro-rated)

  • Location: ZERO, Riverside Business Centre, Walnut Tree Close, Guildford, GU1 4UG (some WFH possible). Travel across the entire River Wey catchment (e.g. Guildford, Liphook, Godalming, Alton, Woking and Weybridge).

  • Reporting: Employed by Zero Carbon Guildford, Supervised by Water Rangers with support from River Wey Trust

  • Start date: As soon as possible

Role purpose and responsibilities

This is a new role, created with the aim of strengthening and growing the successful river stewardship and water testing in the River Wey catchment. 

Responsibilities:

Lead community building & volunteer enablement

  • Recruit, onboard and train volunteers; supervise interns and support educators/community leaders.

  • Deliver and support the delivery of volunteer-run education sessions, Community Lab activities, community pop-ups, and monthly monitoring.

  • Create resources, project work plans and training assets; run training workshops; shadow/coach volunteers; manage rotas and recognition.

  • Plan and deliver communications for river stewardship activities, water monitoring tools, and community events across social, web, newsletters, and press.

  • Write compelling copy and create on-brand graphics, videos, posters, and slide decks.

  • Understanding of safeguarding/DBS considerations.

What success looks like (first 6–12 months)

  • £10k secured via grants and/or sponsorship (e.g. testing sites sponsored or grant secured, with support of supporting organisation mentorship).

Benefits

  • Travel expenses for work beyond your normal place of work.

  • Expenses for work-related communications.

  • Pension contribution.

  • Annual leave: 25 days plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time employees).
