• Research and develop potential new partner organisations.

Key Tasks include:
• Liaising with Cleanup Hubs and local communities.
• Hosting and attending events and reporting back to CleanpUK’s Operational Team.
• Helping to keep active records of the litter picking that is taking place. This includes: ensuring litter picking statistics are being logged online by hubs, taking photos for our social media channels, and making notes on our shared database.
• Promoting the project locally, both on the ground and online.
• Online research to help us to identify new community partners, and attending online or face to face meetings with new prospective partners.
• Attending monthly team meetings online.
• Developing an awareness of local funding opportunities and communicating these to our fundraising team.
• Occasional support to CleanupUK’s corporate partnership team may also be required such as leading a litter picking for a company.

Equitable opportunities for everyone
We believe those with a criminal record should have an equal chance to become employees or volunteers and encourage applications.

As an organisation who safeguard and promote the safety and welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, any job offer will depend on a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We comply fully with the DBS code of practice and undertake to treat all applications for positions fairly. For successful candidates with a criminal record, a risk assessment process will take place with the recruiting manager.

We also pride ourselves on being an equitable opportunities employer for everyone regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion and beliefs, sex and sexual orientation. We have committed to being a Disability Confident Employer, and have made the Menopause Workplace, Mental Health at Work, and Bristol Equality Charter pledges.

Please see our Policies section on the website, for further information.
