Green Action Trust
If you share our passion for making positive environmental and social change, we’d like to hear from you.
We have been creating and improving greenspaces, planting and managing woodlands, greening active travel routes and enhancing habitats for nearly 40 years. We are passionate about the positive environmental and social change we can deliver across Scotland and are always on the lookout for candidates who have a similar passion to help us create this change.
As an employer, we believe in balancing life and work; we work flexibly; we invest in our people by offering training and support; and above all, we value our staff.
Positions advertised are offered on a permanent, full-time basis (although part-time and flexible working arrangements will be considered) and involve hybrid working from home and our offices.
Vacancies – when available – are posted below. If we have no current vacancies in your field and you are interested in working for us, please feel free to send us your CV and a covering letter with details of your area of expertise.

We are currently looking to add a new member to our Board of Trustees, broadening our skill set so that we can provide the Trust with the leadership it needs.
At this time, we are seeking candidates who have a background in Finance and/or Accountancy.
As a member of our Board of Charity Trustees, your focus will be to assist us strategically, applying your specific skills and experience to ensure we meet all our commitments. It would be helpful if you have previous Board experience although this is not essential. We respect that your time will be limited, and so we want to be clear about our expectations. If you can commit around a day per month, this will more than meet our current requirements.
If you feel you can assist the Board to take forward its exciting programme, we look forward to hearing from you. We are committed to building a diverse Board, so we welcome applications from all sectors of society, regardless of ethnicity, age, gender, disability or religious persuasion.
