Introduction

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Countryside Trust (LLTCT) was established in 2012 as a charitable company focussing on improving the natural environment, connecting communities and delivering health and well-being activities within the National Park. LLTCT is a small team of experienced staff supported by committed volunteers delivering a wide range of benefits to nature and people. We have brought extensive experience, knowledge and connections in nature restoration through working with over 30 land managers, community groups, charities, local businesses and statutory bodies on Wild Strathfillan (a 50,000-hectare landscape-scale project).

We now need to build capacity within the team to further develop our people and community-focussed work.

Working in partnership with Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority and RSPB Scotland, LLTCT has committed to the exciting new Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Landscape Connections (LLTLC) Initiative, funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund. This focuses on accelerating restoration of our woodland mosaic, addressing shared threats, and maximising shared opportunities for people and communities across three existing landscape partnerships (Wild Strathfillan, The Great Trossachs Forest, Lomond Rainforest).

Job Purpose

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Landscape Connections (LLTLC) Nursery Volunteer Coordinator is a new and exciting role to support the delivery of the LLTLC Work Programme “Growing Our Future”, which will enable our charity and partners to collect, grow and produce a wide range of native plant species to support our collective nature restoration ambitions.

If you’re friendly and approachable, experienced in engaging communities and recruiting/managing volunteers, and are practical, hands-on and happy working outdoors, in all weathers, you could be the ideal person to help coordinate volunteers and support day to day operations at our new Lomond Nursery, growing native plants for nature restoration.
