Roots and Shoots is looking for a new Chair for our Board of Trustees


On behalf of Roots and Shoots, please pass this to anyone who might be interested in this opportunity.

Roots and Shoots is a highly regarded and well-established charity, which provides vocational education and training for young people from London’s inner city, specifically Lambeth and Southwark. It involves local schools and the wider community in the promotion of environmental education and maintenance of the green environment and its significance to the quality of local life.

We are seeking a new Chair of Trustees to lead Roots and Shoots as a modern and progressive charity, consolidating and building on our unique qualities and strengths.

This is a voluntary, yet highly-rewarding role and we are looking for someone with experience of running an organization or business and a real interest in education and the environment. An understanding of the voluntary sector would be an advantage.

The Chair will provide new focus, strengthen our accountability, and promote our contribution to the business of the environment, and needs of our young people. He or she will also work with Roots and Shoots Director Linda Phillips on a programme of developing and enhancing the work of the charity.

Trustees meetings are currently held monthly in Kennington SE11.

The Closing date for applications of interest either by email or CV is Wednesday 10th February.

Please visit www.rootsandshoots.org.uk to find out about our work and contact Linda at linda@rootsandshoots.org.uk if you are interested in finding out about this vacancy.
