Love nature, creativity and helping young people try something new? Come and work with us.
Roots Media CIC is looking for two Workshop Coordinators to help bring a Torbay-based environmental arts project to life.

What you’ll be doing
Working alongside the Roots Media team, a Lead Artist and school staff, you’ll:
Help set up, run and pack away creative biodiversity workshops.
Support pupils as they explore local nature, discover pollinators and create artwork using recycled and low‑impact materials.
Help collect and organise artwork, photographs and stories for the final project.
Make activities welcoming and inclusive, encouraging every pupil to get involved.
Follow safeguarding, accessibility and environmental procedures, with training and support from our team.
Why join Roots?

We’re a small, collaborative team that values young people’s ideas and creates paid opportunities to put them into action. You’ll get practical experience, full training and the chance to contribute to a creative project celebrating Torbay’s wildlife.
Training will cover workshop facilitation, safeguarding, risk assessments and nature connection techniques.
Interviews: 2-4 December 2026.
