This role is vital to our Leave No Trace Departures Campaign, which runs throughout June. When students leave at the end of term, we sort through donated items to ensure they are either prepared for reuse when students return or redistributed to local charities.

If you enjoy making a positive difference and gain satisfaction from practical, meaningful work that supports sustainability and the local community, this role offers a rewarding opportunity to get involved. Paid training will be provided as part of the role.
