Job Description

Office Management

Green & Away is seeking up to two interns who will be responsible for maintaining the day-to-day running of the venue, managing the attendance of our volunteers as well as undertaking research projects such as funding sources and future events to further the organisation both as a business and an environmentally minded charity. Daily responsibilities include, but are not limited to, answering phone calls and responding to emails, financial admin and accounting, placing supplies orders and generally supporting the Coordinator to ensure everything runs smoothly on-site.

You will also be the point of call for volunteers, welcoming and inducting new arrivals (both guests and volunteers), managing job rotas, assisting other interns in their role and liaising with our local neighbours and suppliers. You will be tasked with research projects, preparation for future seasons as well as the running of our social media accounts.

This placement will offer you an opportunity to learn about project and office management, problem-solving, working in a charity and events organising. This varied role will suit a highly organised, approachable, conscientious and driven individual, with a good eye for detail and who is comfortable with responsibility. You will be as happy doing basic daily admin as you are at undertaking detailed research.

Duration and travel

All internships will start on 15th June 2020 (date to be confirmed nearer the time) and end mid-August. Successful applicants will camp on site for the duration of the placement and will have one or two days off a week depending on workload.

Green & Away is located 3 miles from Worcester which has a main line rail station and buses which come to within a few minutes’ walk of our site. Please see our website for travel information.

Accommodation and facilities

Green & Away takes place outdoors and under canvas. You will need your own tent, however, we may be able to arrange one for you if you are unable to bring one and you let us know in advance. Full board is provided (3 vegetarian meals a day and regular tea breaks with cake!). The site has hot showers, clothes washing facilities and composting toilets.

A licensed bar, comfortable sitting areas and arts and crafts facilities come as and when we have built them. There is WiFi and phone/laptop charging facilities. Please note, when you first arrive the field will be almost empty (although our toilets and showers will be operating), so please be prepared for this.

Although G&A is set up on the outskirts of a small village near Worcester, the nearest shop and post office is 2 miles away.

Costs

Green & Away does not pay any of its volunteers, trustees or interns. We provide 3 vegetarian meals a day to everyone volunteering on site. Your only cost throughout the internship will be your travel or any drinks and snacks you choose from the bar.

How to apply

Applications should consist of a CV and a one-page covering letter explaining why you would like to be an intern with Green & Away, which internship you are applying for, which aspects of our work particularly appeal to you, and what you would bring to the role. You are welcome to apply for a placement in more than one department.

Interviews will be conducted via Skype/video conferencing on a rolling basis with selections being made in May, so apply as early as you can.

Please send applications by 13th April 2020 by email to Eve at: [email protected]
