Climate & nature are urgent & inspiring issues. We are volunteer-based and want to fulfil our potential by making sure we get the best out of our fantastic volunteers & all the future ones we attract by keeping them happy and active.
EcoCounts covers a lot of bases because the climate and biodiversity crisis is so all-encompassing, which means we have a lot of varied and different volunteer tasks available, ranging from carbon footprint data collection, setting up sub-teams of friends or colleagues or doing social media or running workshops.
Your responsibilities:
You should be a people-person who knows the basics of successful volunteer management. You should be prepared to put in the time and effort communicating with the volunteers both all-together and individually in a way that gets the best results from them.
Society has got itself into a dangerous situation with the climate crisis and EcoCounts aims to create a way out. We need all sorts of different people, not just climate nerds and sustainability fanatics, although of course that doesn't hurt. What we need right now to join the team is someone who knows what people need if they're going to be an effective volunteer for us. Being a volunteer-based organisation at this stage still, that might make the volunteer manager the most important person we have. Of course we all consider each other equal, so being small and dynamic means EcoCounts should be an opportunity for you to do the best and most fulfilling job you can.
Meeting or video call with one of us and then a meeting with all the trustees.
Potential to become a trustee if that's interesting.
