What will you be doing?
EcoCounts covers a lot of bases because the climate and biodiversity crisis is so all-encompassing, which means we have a lot of varied and different volunteer tasks available, ranging from carbon footprint data collection, setting up sub-teams of friends or colleagues or doing social media or running workshops. Your responsibilities:
creating PDF for each volunteer task to give an extensive description of everything required and expected keeping track of what volunteers are active on leveraging the online presence EcoCounts already has encouraging and inspiring volunteers to deliver on commitments creating an incentives or rewards framework for EcoCounts volunteers managing a small budget building up a social network for EcoCounts with events, collaborations and other inputs bring your own experience and knowledge to the role help keep reporting, stats and feedback on EcoCounts activities up-to-date able to commit at least 4 hours a week on average staying in close contact with the trustees and directors potential to become a trustee if desired
What are we looking for?
You should be a people-person who knows the basics of successful volunteer management. You should be prepared to put in the time and effort communicating with the volunteers both all-together and individually in a way that gets the best results from them.
What difference will you make?
Society has got itself into a dangerous situation with the climate crisis and EcoCounts aims to create a way out. We need all sorts of different people, not just climate nerds and sustainability fanatics, although of course that doesn't hurt. What we need right now to join the team is someone who knows what people need if they're going to be an effective volunteer for us. Being a volunteer-based organisation at this stage still, that might make the volunteer manager the most important person we have. Of course we all consider each other equal, so being small and dynamic means EcoCounts should be an opportunity for you to do the best and most fulfilling job you can.
