Full Job Description

The John Muir Way is one of Scotland's most iconic long-distance walking routes, spanning 134 miles from Helensburgh on the west coast to Dunbar on the east. The John Muir Way Green Skills program, a three-year initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, will focus on improving biodiversity along this route, creating opportunities for trainees to learn new skills, build confidence, and contribute to Scotland's natural and cultural heritage.

We are looking for a passionate People and Admin Support to play a crucial role in supporting the John Muir Way project. In this position, you will work closely with the Operations Leader, Greenskills Officers, and the Central Services People Team to ensure trainees have a positive and enriching experience while contributing to the project's success.

As the People and Admin Support, you will work alongside the Greenskills Officers communicating our people-focused initiatives, ensuring that trainees are informed and supported, throughout their journey on the John Muir Way project. Collaboration with colleagues will be key as you coordinate training schedules, collate attendance records, training logs and evidence for funders and partners.

Managing the onboarding process for new trainees will be a critical responsibility, ensuring they transition smoothly into their roles and fully understand TCV's values, policies and procedures. In addition, you will support recruitment by posting job ads, arranging interviews, and conducting reference checks.

Working closely with the People Services Team throughout the employee lifecycle, you will oversee the accurate maintenance of trainee records, feedback, and any arising issues, ensuring alignment with project and organisational policies. You will facilitate regular communication between trainees, Training Officers, and the wider project team to keep everyone informed and aligned.

We seek someone passionate about working with people and supporting their development. Strong organisational abilities, excellent communication skills, and a genuine interest in others' well-being are essential. Experience in a people-focused role, such as HR, training, or community engagement, is highly desirable. A passion for Scotland's natural heritage and outdoor environments, especially the John Muir Way, would be a bonus.,
