In addition, you will support the wider team by assisting with social media content creation and other tasks to help the charity grow.

This is a fantastic role which may suit a graduate, somebody wishing to start-out in the charitable sector or somebody wanting to take the next step in their career.

Our team works a four-day week as standard and this role offers flexibility on contracted hours at either three or four days per week.

Diversity and inclusion: Our beneficiaries come from all walks of life, but our small team is mostly made up of white women. We want to hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes us stronger. If you share our values and enthusiasm for access to Bristol and Bath’s parks, you will find a home here.

All applicants will be treated equally but we want to build our level of lived experience. Therefore we are particularly interested in receiving applications from people who are from ethnically diverse backgrounds, living with a disability, caring for a loved one unpaid, or from low-income households.
