Job description

Our Natural Health Service currently delivers pioneering nature connection and green wellbeing programmes for people experiencing cancer, chronic illness, low-level mental health challenges, and drug and alcohol recovery. Our approach is preventative, trauma‑aware, sensory and seasonal.

We are seeking an organised, warm, reflective person who can be the operational backbone and steady holding presence of our Natural Health Service. Someone who enjoys weaving together people, processes, nature‑based facilitation and clear communication so our programmes run smoothly and feel welcoming and grounded.

This hybrid role blends Operational Coordination and Nature Connection Facilitation. It is ideal for someone who feels equally at home by the kettle, by the campfire, in the teepee, on the phone, in the spreadsheet, at a partner meeting and guiding a sensory nature‑based session.

Contract: Fixed term until March 2027. Four days per week (30 hours), normally Monday – Thursday. Some weekend working will be required as Northern Roots moves to a seven day working pattern from August 2026.
