This role is commonly known as a Gardener - nothing to do with actually gardening!
Are you an experienced local group rebel who would like to help other groups grow and develop? This is a great opportunity to step up and help other groups to thrive!
As a part of the London Region development team, you will be supporting Local Groups in London to work towards their goals and overcome problems.
Some VLE (voluntary living expenses) may be available for this role, please enquire about this.
As a Gardener you will help to spread information from UK wide circles to Local Groups and bring feedback of unmet Local Group needs to the wider movement.
You should be comfortable working on a computer, using spreadsheets and XR digital tools (you will be trained in any that you are not familiar with).
The Local Group Support team is a friendly and supportive group of rebels. Each Gardener focuses on their Nation/Region, but all come together in a weekly meeting to share expertise, ideas and to support each other.
More details will be sent to you after you apply for the role.
Training and guidance is provided throughout your induction in to this role.
