Lead Volunteer (Leicestershire MoJ project support)

The Canal & River Trust is excited to share this exciting opportunity to join our team and work with our wide range of volunteers.

We are looking for enthusiastic and passionate individuals to help facilitate and support the Task Manager deliver the Ministry of Justice project in Leicester. This involves managing the activities for the day, ensuring the safety of the group, and fostering a fun and positive attitude so that our volunteers want to come back year after year. This is a genuine hands on opportunity where you will learn more about our canal network, how to deliver safe and impactful volunteer days, and get great enjoyment from seeing these activities come to life.

As part of our wider community engagement the Trust has created an opportunity for the Leicestershire Unpaid Work teams (MoJ) to carry out work on our canals, helping with our day-to-day maintenance, litter picking and occasionally some more involved work such as pathway improvements. To assist with this, we are seeking a volunteer to assist our task manager with this work upon a weekly basis usually a Tuesday or Wednesday. Training opportunities include tools such as brush cutter/ strimmer and polesaws.
