Are you a community-minded person who is self-confident, energetic, reliable and enjoys being outside?
There is a part-time role available with community litter picking charity CleanupUK, who need help in their mission to engage people in looking after their local environment.
If you have a few hours a week to spend encouraging local communities and organisations to litter pick, then this could really suit you.
CleanupUK is recruiting a Community Cleanup Champion for Rochdale, to work closely with our partner organisations, encouraging local litter picking via our Cleanup Hub network:
Cleanup hubs are spaces to store equipment for individuals and groups in the community to use. By hosting this equipment and loaning it out, Cleanup Hubs are championing volunteering in the community and promoting litter picking.
CleanupUK provides equipment and promotional support to help Cleanup Hubs get started with litter picking and engaging local people.
Cleanup Champions work closely with Cleanup Hubs and other partner organisations to encourage more people to get involved in litter picking locally.
We are keen to find cheerful people, with a sense of fun, who care about the environment and enjoy chatting to people of all backgrounds.
Main Purpose of the Role:
- To increase the number of people borrowing litter picking equipment from the Cleanup Hubs in your local area.
- To represent CleanupUK at a local level by attending litter picking events and supporting the development of the Cleanup Hub network.
- To develop strong relationships with partner organisations in the community:
- Supporting existing Cleanup Hubs to increase levels of engagement in their area by contacting new groups.
- Research and develop potential new partner organisations.
Key Tasks include:
- Liaising with Cleanup Hubs and local communities.
- Hosting and attending events and reporting back to CleanpUK’s Operational Team.
- Helping to keep active records of the litter picking that is taking place. This includes: ensuring litter picking statistics are being logged online by hubs, taking photos for our social media channels, and making notes on our shared database.
- Promoting the project locally, both on the ground and online.
- Online research to help us to identify new community partners, and attending online or face to face meetings with new prospective partners.
- Attending monthly team meetings online, and an annual face to face day-long team meeting.
- Developing an awareness of local funding opportunities and communicating these to our fundraising team.
- Occasional support to CleanupUK’s corporate partnership team may also be required such as leading a litter picking for a company.
