You will work closely with local 'Friends of' groups to increase their effectiveness and to direct their practical conservation work using the Mersey Valley Habitat Management Plan, developed in partnership with Manchester City Council.

You will have experience of volunteer recruitment, induction and management, and the ability to motivate volunteers to independently deliver organisational objectives. Experience of delivering events that successfully engage with families would be an advantage.
