We are recruiting in Leeds!
This is a great opportunity to join The Orchard Project’s team, helping to plant and look after community orchards in West Yorkshire. Working as part of a friendly and supportive team, you will be helping to build community resilience and community engagement in our brilliant network of orchards.
This is a part-time (3 days a week) flexible role based in Leeds. It will involve regular travel to orchards in Leeds and Wakefield where you will be working with community groups to plant 2 orchards over the next year. You will also nurture our existing community orchard groups, further building their skills and engagement with their community orchard. Expect to be working alongside a whole load of energised community groups, helping to create a legacy of orchards which will be blossoming and producing fruit for generations. As part of a team working on a major national project in creating and sustaining community orchards, your skills in community engagement are just as important as your tree care skills.
