Urban Green Newcastle is a pioneering charity set up in 2019 to look after the city’s parks and allotments. Our vision is for more people to enjoy and benefit from the beautiful open spaces in the city, and to ensure they are safe, welcoming and provide a great environment for wildlife and people which is valued by all.
Key to the future growth and development of the city’s parks and allotments are Green Financing opportunities and environmental projects (from S106 and biodiversity net gain to grants for environmental improvements and building opportunities for people to connect with nature and green space).
This position of Green Initiatives Project Officer will work with the Green Initiatives Strategic Lead to support the development of a range of green/environmental projects, including biodiversity net gain and engaging people with nature, and sourcing grant funding to deliver them.
