Going Wild in Bishop's Castle Project Assistant and Trainee22.5 hours per week, fixed term contract from 1st July 2024 to 31st January 2027Salary Scale: £22,308 per annum pro rata (£10,038.60 for 2024/25). This salary will increase by 5% at the start of each financial year.Reporting: The post-holder is responsible to the Going Wild in Bishop's Castle Project Co-ordinator.What is Going Wild in Bishop's Castle (Going Wild)?Going Wild is a part of Lightfoot (see below) and was formed by members of the Bishop's Castle community as a response to the climate and biodiversity crisis which we face.  Going Wild is committed to improving the Shropshire town of Bishop's Castle and its immediate environs for biodiversity and to bringing wildlife into the lives of those living in Bishop's Castle and visiting the town.Going Wild aims to enhance public green space, private gardens and nearby farmland, working closely with the Town Council, schools, local businesses, landowners to make all of these spaces richer in biodiversity. Going Wild aims to engage local people of all demographics in this endeavour and to increase the skills within the community to record and manage species and habitats.What is Lightfoot?Lightfoot is a not-for-profit organisation whose principal activity is to promote sustainable use of the Earth's resources for the benefit of the public and the environment. An initiative of Bishop's Castle-based Wasteless Society, Lightfoot Enterprises was incorporated in 2008 and became a registered charity in 2013. Lightfoot operates in the Welsh Marches, covering parts of Powys, Herefordshire and Shropshire. There are many local community initiatives that operate within this area and the organisation aims to share and spread ideas and good practice across the whole region, acting as a hub for environmentally-focused activity in Bishop's Castle and beyond and a trusted partner for many cross-border organisations. Lightfoot supports local actions that increase knowledge and understanding of the Climate and Ecological Emergency that we all face, and are supported by a knowledgeable and experienced Board.What is the Going Wild in Bishop's Castle project?Going Wild will build on the evidence of two years of voluntary work to increase the size, biodiversity and interconnectedness of the town's green spaces; making them Bigger, Better, More and Joined Up, increasing engagement and empowering people to act for positive community-based environmental change. Working on 33 sites, and actively managing up to 20, the project will engage the local community and encourage action, both at home and through organised activity. The project will create a 'big vision' allowing everyone to contribute, from a plant pot to a pond, focusing on the power of collective action to improve local green spaces and build community connections. The project will work across the community and across demographics to engage, extending project involvement beyond existing volunteer groups to encourage involvement from disengaged areas of the community and develop social prescribing potential. Community members will be empowered to contribute to the biodiversity of their green spaces and providing opportunities to get up close and personal with nature. Going Wild will create a Biodiversity Toolkit to allow wider communities to benefit from the project with a template for action. This will demonstrate how this kind of activity can succeed and where to start. Town and Parish Councils do not know how to respond to the biodiversity and climate emergencies and this toolkit, coupled with talks and other training, will provide a practical starting point. Main Purpose of the post Working directly for the Going Wild Project Co-ordinator, help to provide simple management plans for public spaces within Bishop's Castle.
