Community Engagement Internship

We are recruiting for a Community Engagement Internship. The successful applicant will play a key role in developing and delivering community engagement events which promote connection to nature, support community creation of habitat for wildlife, promote wellbeing, and enhance the community’s knowledge of the natural world.

This role is for 12 months and the successful applicant will work primarily with the #TamaraScheme and Tamar Valley National Landscape Teams, but also individuals, community groups, parish councils and other partners. The role is part funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

This is an entry-level post aimed at individuals who are either recent graduates or who have relevant equivalent experience and want to progress to a career in the green sector. You will have the opportunity to learn new skills and partake in relevant training during your internship.

The deadline for applications is the 26 July 2024. For more information and to apply visit: CLICK HERE

Traineeship Hosts

We’re looking for organisations to host Traineeship positions.

The Traineeships will be part-funded by the Tamara Scheme and they form part of the Scheme’s £209k Tamara Trainees project, which aims to provide training opportunities for people living in and around the Tamar Valley.

The Tamara Scheme will provide support for up to 50% of the employee’s salary and up to 50% of the employers on-costs in connection with the trainee. There will also be a small discretionary fund to help support some of the additional costs for example PPE as well as ongoing advice for the host organisation during the employment period (subject to terms and conditions).

Host organisations must ensure that Trainees are engaged on work primarily in the scheme area. The host organisation and/or trainee can be located outside of the area, but most of the work must take place inside the area.
