Every day TCV works across the UK to create healthier and happier communities for everyone –
communities where our activities have a lasting impact on people’s health, prospects and
outdoor places.

Being an administrator in TCV provides the opportunity to make a real difference to people,
communities, and green spaces.

About the role:

We need a very capable, adaptable and good humoured administrator to support the TCV team at
Skelton Grange Environment Centre in Leeds. This beautiful eco-building is set in a 10 acre
wildlife area in south Leeds, and welcomes over 7000 people a year to a range of education,
health, job skills and recreation opportunities in the natural environment.

Your 4 days a week (do ask us about flexibility) will be spent supporting our staff &
volunteer team to respond to the needs of running our busy centre.

This will include:

• managing incoming and outgoing communication,
• greeting visitors
• completing financial tasks around invoicing and procurement
• creating & distributing newsletters via mailchimp and email
• managing our local TCV web pages
• updating our communication through social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram),
  other marketing channels and event promotion websites (including Eventbrite)
• organising local promotional events.
• developing and maintaining electronic information storage and retrieval systems
• collating, analysing and disseminating reports and information, and

A key part of TCV’s work is engaging and supporting volunteers, and you will oversee the
administration and promotion of the recruitment of Volunteers and Volunteer Officers. We also
engage many others in our work through workshops, events and building hire, and you will manage
the marketing, administration and organisation of meetings and local conferences, centre
bookings, catering and event management.

interest in volunteering and the potential of people!

A bit more about us:

We recognise that each community and the people living there have different needs. Whether
improving wellbeing, conserving a well-loved outdoor space or bringing people together to
promote social cohesion and combat loneliness, TCV works together with communities to deliver
practical solutions to the real life challenges they face.

For over 60 years we have adapted our work with volunteers to reflect the changing needs of
communities in the UK and, by giving people a sense of purpose and belonging, we have empowered
them to take control of their lives and outdoor spaces for the benefit of all.

Whilst our activities vary, our inclusive approach has remained consistent; bringing people and
places together to create happy, healthy and connected communities for everyone.

TCV is working hard to improve the diversity of our workforce and so we particularly welcome
applications from Black and Ethnic Minority, LGBTQ, and people with Disabilities.
