People & Admin Support – John Muir Way, Green Skills
35 hours per week 

The Conservation Volunteers connects people and green spaces to deliver lasting outcomes for
both.

About the role:

The John Muir Way is one of Scotland’s most iconic long-distance walking routes, spanning 134
miles from Helensburgh on the west coast to Dunbar on the east. The John Muir Way Green Skills
program, a three-year initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, will focus on
improving biodiversity along this route, creating opportunities for trainees to learn new
skills, build confidence, and contribute to Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage.

We are looking for a passionate People and Admin Support to play a crucial role in
supporting the John Muir Way project. In this position, you will work closely with the
Operations Leader, Greenskills Officers, and the Central Services People Team to ensure
trainees have a positive and enriching experience while contributing to the project’s success.

As the People and Admin Support
, you will work alongside the Greenskills Officers
communicating our people-focused initiatives, ensuring that trainees are informed and
supported, throughout their journey on the John Muir Way project. Collaboration with colleagues
will be key as you coordinate training schedules, collate attendance records, training logs and
evidence for funders and partners.

Managing the onboarding process for new trainees will be a critical responsibility, ensuring
they transition smoothly into their roles and fully understand TCV’s values, policies and
procedures. In addition, you will support recruitment by posting job ads, arranging interviews,
and conducting reference checks.

Working closely with the People Services Team throughout the employee lifecycle, you will
oversee the accurate maintenance of trainee records, feedback, and any arising issues, ensuring
alignment with project and organisational policies. You will facilitate regular communication
between trainees, Training Officers, and the wider project team to keep everyone informed and
aligned.

What We’re Looking For

We seek someone passionate about working with people and supporting their development. Strong
organisational abilities, excellent communication skills, and a genuine interest in others’
well-being are essential. Experience in a people-focused role, such as HR, training, or
community engagement, is highly desirable. A passion for Scotland’s natural heritage and
outdoor environments, especially the John Muir Way, would be a bonus.

Join us on the John Muir Way project and help inspire the next generation of environmental
champions!

recruitment process, and you will be asked whether you require any during your application. If
