Education programme looking for Young Volunteers

Are you aged between 12-16 years old, with an interest in nature?

The National Trust’s education programme is looking for Young Volunteers to help our Education Officer, Erin, deliver family activities during the school holidays. Please consider joining our passionate team of Young Volunteers to help run family nature-based activities and guide younger children to interact with the natural world.

You won’t need any experience or lots of knowledge, just an enthusiasm for the nature and some spare time. As we are a charity, the hours that you volunteer can count towards programmes such as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and we are sure you will gain lots of new skills and have fun.

Please send an email to education@nationaltrust.je so Erin can send you an application form and a list of our upcoming activities that you can sign up for.

The Trust’s Council fully recognises that it is absolutely crucial that charities are well governed in a transparent and accountable manner. In this respect the Trust has always ensured that its annual accounts are independently audited and published in time for its Annual General Meetings. Also a code of practice and job description for Council members has been in place since 2005 and 2007 respectively. However, it is clear that enhanced measures are now necessary in order to meet both the requirements of local legislation and the recommendations of the Charity Commissioner. As a result the Trust’s Council has or is in the process of introducing the following policies: i. A register of interests for all Council members and senior management ii. A conflicts of interest policy for all Council members and members of staff iii. A property management policy outlining clear methods of disposal which will aim to deliver best value and full transparency iv. Revised terms of reference for Council members to replace the current code of practice

It is hoped that such measures will not only make sure the Trust has robust governance in place but equally ensure that the public trust and confidence in the workings of the Trust remains well placed.
