Summary
Northern Roots is transforming 160 acres of urban greenspace in the heart of Oldham into a destination for learning, leisure, nature and growing. The charity’s mission is to benefit the environment, and to improve the health, wellbeing and livelihoods of local communities.
In 2026 Northern Roots will open a new Welcome Building, Forestry Skills Centre, four more acres of Urban Farm, and an outdoor amphitheatre and play facilities. The charity will create further job, volunteering and business opportunities, alongside a programme of cultural, wellbeing, environmental and learning activities.
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.
